Can I just take the opportunity briefly to speak to the third reading debate to correct a statement made by the parliamentary secretary a moment ago. Far from the previous government not cooperating with the process, this bill in its current form was in fact prepared by the previous government.

Question agreed to.

Bill read a third time.
