I want to acknowledge Senator Xenophon's great interest in this area and the strong support and representations he has provided for people who have been subject to inappropriate contact through the internet. Everyone in this place, when we are talking about these subjects, always comes with goodwill and good intentions. Senator Xenophon has indicated that he knows, from discussions with the government already, that we will not be supporting his amendment, but I think Senator Xenophon has had some good discussions, particularly with the parliamentary secretary, and the government obviously will keep talking with Senator Xenophon. But I did just want to acknowledge Senator Xenophon's important work and interest in this area.
