I'll fire off to start with, but let my colleagues go on.
Just briefly, that's at the heart of my plea about the second point I was making in saying that my concern about this bill is that it deals with one aspect without dealing with the interrelated and equally important aspects that affect the contribution the Senate can make to Parliament and to the federation as a federal institution. Therefore, it seems to me, all fears of the problems of constitutional amendment aside, we do need to look at it fundamentally in terms of the role it plays within Parliament and the federation.
