The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:38): Just also confirming, I guess as a supplementary: are you still 'very happy' with the consultation process?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:39): Mr President, everyone knows that I am always happy in this place—in fact, most of the staff in this place can't believe I am always so happy. We have had extensive consultation. You can always have more consultation and, as a result of the actions yesterday, we are consulting until at least the end of February 2019.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! I can't hear.
