I want to respond to some of the comments that Senator Farrell made in relation to other issues. Firstly, the agreement with Pauline Hanson's One Nation absolutely stands and it will continue to stand. I also make the point that there have been many predictions made in this place about the fate of legislation, about what may or may not pass through this place. I will be applying myself, as I do with every piece of legislation, to what we introduce to give effect to those matters in relation to the ABC. Many times we have heard predictions made about how something will not pass the Senate only to see those predictions proven to be untrue.
