I was quite taken with Senator Craughwell's contribution. I agree with him that this House will calmly and reflectively do its duty without dictation from anybody, in particular, as he said, the group e-mails with which we have been bombarded. Of course we will ignore them. In fact, I deleted the lot. We will make up our own minds. I am sure the Leader will enlighten us shortly. We have a proud record in this House of not having a guillotine, so let us not get too excited. We will take all the time necessary. We can sit on Christmas Eve or whenever. We will find plenty of time to deal with the Bill. I am sure we will not have any guillotine.

Action.

Does Senator Coghlan have a question for the Leader?

Does Senator Coghlan have a question for the Leader?

I am told that even the best actors need them. No, I do not have a question; I am happy to hear from the Leader.
