Hon RON MARK (Minister of Defence): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise to make a short call in support of this legislation, legislation that's been worked on between the Hon Shane Jones and the Hon David Parker quite studiously. I want to join the chorus of thanks for the select committee for its diligence in the work and the speed and the pace, the hours that they put in, and for the constructive amendments that have been made with the support of the National members of that committee.
