Centre Alliance will be supporting this referral. The PJCIS is in fact the very organisation that has had carriage of all the security legislation that has placed constraints on journalists in this country. I point out also that there are no crossbenchers on the PJCIS, and some of us crossbenchers are probably the strongest advocates for press freedom in this chamber. We're indicating our support for this. We don't want to leave the fox in charge of the henhouse.
