People will be potentially aware that this relates to the current instrument that regulates the use of restraints. I've submitted a notice of disallowance, which was on the Notice Paper for today, and it winds up tomorrow. There are two other disallowance notices on the Notice Paper that take the debate on this through to November, so I am in no way resiling from the fact that this restraints instrument needs improvement and that we need to address the issue of restraints. Senator Colbeck, I know, is currently considering these issues. I want to enable time for a fuller discussion on this regulation, so I'm withdrawing this so that we can have that debate and then have the debate around the disallowance when it comes up again later in this month.
