We improved it.

I understand and accept that Members have to protest over the curtailment of the debate today and be seen to be doing so. The guillotine or the restriction of the debate is a long-standing parliamentary practice that has been used by Senator Bacik when in government, and by Senator McDowell when in government-----

Senator Buttimer said he would never use it.

I never said that. It is important-----

The Senators have all had their say. We will hear the Leader now.

Is the Bill no longer a dog's dinner-----

I apologise to Senator Craughwell. There was a complete oversight. I had two meetings this morning and was not in my office, and that is why the email did not go out. I apologise to the Senator for that.

I thank the Leader. He has made his point.

I apologise for that.
