Thank you, Madam President. I appreciate your protection there from the sidelines. There was a motion before the Senate to bring Alan Joyce before a Senate committee, and the Greens voted against it over and over again. That also was in the national interest. I think it's just useful to remind people who are listening to this debate that actions and consistency of actions speak louder than words. What we've all been beneficiaries of today is this chamber behaving as our constitutional authors sought and a resolution being found that will be in the interests of the Australian people and transparency. The Nationals will obviously be supporting the opposition's amendments.
