Senator Fierravanti-Wells is a generous woman. I have already spent 10 seconds thanking people for their generosity. In relation to the amendment, I want to say that quite a significant issue was put to me by the generic medicines industry about a potential abuse of intellectual property rights by pharmaceutical companies, and that is something I want to pursue. I think Senator Boyce has acknowledged that concern—if I am not mistaken.
