We all know that Senator Xenophon is a wily negotiator, but he is taking it to new levels trying to negotiate the terms of reference of a future Senate inquiry on the floor of the Senate. I agree with the government. While the coalition is very happy to pursue these discussions with him, I do not think it is directly related to the legislation now before us. I suggest that we have these discussions after we have dealt with this legislation.
