The reasons for this motion I have already put on the public record but, to summarise, there is great concern out there. There is justification for that concern. This is a huge and important issue. I call on the government to listen to the people and, if this house on their behalf calls for a halt to this, if a select committee is passed and produces a report, I believe we would be starting to show the proper appreciation and that the people who have expressed concern have been listened to. I advise the house that I will seek a vote on this motion next Wednesday of sitting after we have voted on the select committee.</text>
