Hon GERRY BROWNLEE: Thank you. Your words will do mine. Thank you. The reasons for it are because it enables the Government to make decisions independent of other countries. I'll say again: in a week where we've seen New Zealand join with others—the Five Eyes particularly—to augment a statement that New Zealand had already made, it seems to me that without the bill on the statute book, we are abandoning our independent foreign policy status. Thank you, Mr Speaker.
