Whilst a number of my colleagues on the crossbench are co-sponsoring this bill, I want to acknowledge the non-partisan way the Senate's Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee worked on the issue of seafood labelling, in particular the chair, Senator Sterle, and his colleagues Senators Bullock Williams, Heffernan, Gallacher, Lines and Macdonald. A very non-partisan approach was taken to tackle this significant issue. I am very grateful for the unanimity of that report. Senator Whish-Wilson was a co-sponsor of the bill. I mention that because I do not want to offend Senator Whish-Wilson, who is sitting here!
