I am very surprised if that is the situation because these were circulated some considerable period of time ago.

The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN: Leave is not granted. Senator Ronaldson, would you like to move your first amendment?

Yes, I would. I will say, prior to doing that, that this is no secret or surprise to the government. This was all flagged well in advance, in fact, during the May session. I move amendment (1) on sheet 7037 revised:

  (1) Title, page 1 (line 2), after “ 1973 ”, insert “ and the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948 ”.
