MR OSBORNE (5.23): Mr Speaker, I will be brief. I toyed with the idea of speaking at length about the role that the Chief Magistrate has undertaken, but the documents tabled and the fact that, I think it would be fair to say, you have come to the conclusion that he did make political comments in relation to the legislation expose the role that he took and expose how he has attempted to undermine the legislation since it was tabled. In saying that, though, I feel that I have no alternative but to support this amendment of Mr Rugendyke's. It disappoints me that there have been two lengthy committee inquiries into this subject and both recommended some legislation in the form of the original Bill, but that was not good enough for Mr Cahill.
