My consultations in relation to this particular legislation have been ongoing for over a year. I have listened to what people have had to say and I have listened to what you and others have said in this place. My decision to seek to make this amendment was on the basis of wideranging discussions that I've had. I must admit, I'm somewhat surprised that, after listening to the contributions that have been made by those opposite, you appear not to be supportive of the proposal that's before the chair.
