I note that Senator Patrick is shouting from elsewhere than his own seat. I simply wanted to observe that the Labor Party does take responsibility for the decisions we make in this chamber. Unlike parties elsewhere, we consider ourselves a party of government, and that means actually making decisions in the national interest. We consider that it is in the national interest that this legislation be passed, in the remaining time available to us this week, to allow payments to commence.
