I would like to thank the President for delivering a speech that focused on unity of purpose and unity of the nation. He did set a good tone for this House because the tone between our colleagues improved after that speech. We thank him for bringing everybody together. He touched on a number of things but I will just pick on a few because of time. The President urged this House to fast-track mediation of the Bills that are before this House. I want to join him by telling our colleagues, who will be in the mediation Committee, that it is important for us to move this country forward. For that to happen, we have to work with our colleagues from the other House so as to ensure that the Bills are moved faster. Reaching a deadlock and coming to mediation is no crime for it is provided for in our Standing Order. It is also important for us to have a common understanding between the two Houses though I know that some issues that arise which are not understood. I would like to join my colleagues in asking the President not to sign a Bill that has not gone through proper mediation between the two Houses, or touches on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
