Listen, I endured your speech; you can perhaps endure mine. You made the remark that the oversight of the parliament is important, and of course we accept and understand that—it is. But let us understand that, in the aftermath of this legislative framework coming down and the regulations being finalised, they will come before this parliament and they are disallowable. So not for a moment are you finding yourself inveigled into a process that denies you or, indeed, any other senator the opportunity to be heard.
