Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I thank the Minister for his acknowledgment of the very good work that the Finance and Expenditure Committee has done generally, but particularly on this bill. And I want to join him in thanking the officials who work very hard to try and articulate the Government's preferences and, in some cases I think, their own for improvements to the Reserve Bank Act; also, to the 21 submitters who made submissions on the bill.
