It is, of course, standard practice that the multiparty JSCEM undertake a review after every election to consider what we can learn from those elections and the matters that affect our democracy. It's a routine process that is still underway. I don't believe it's even tabled an interim report, so I think you're jumping the gun a bit.
If I may, while I'm on my feet, I congratulate you for taking the top of the Senate ticket, Senator McGrath. But we would say to you that you probably have some self-interest in not wanting the parliament changed. (Time expired)
