Senator, rather than prolong the debate, I will merely refer you to my remarks last night in winding up the second reading debate in which I did that very thing and explained at length the consultations that occurred. You say 'reluctance' on the part of the Northern Land Council. The fact is that the Northern Land Council, like every other land council in the country, has asked for the parliament to pass this bill in this form and to do it urgently.
