To assist the Senate, I make a few very short remarks as part of this third reading debate, essentially, just to place on the record that while the coalition will not be calling a division, we are fundamentally opposed to the passing of this bill for the reasons very eloquently outlined by my colleague Senator Scott Ryan, on behalf of the coalition. In order to facilitate the speedy passage of the business of the Senate, and with an abundance of constructive spirit, we will not be calling a division despite our strong opposition to this bill passing in its current form.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a third time.
