Before we decide, we must hear from Senator Lombard, Deputy Buckley and Deputy Griffin who is online. To be clear, there is a process to go through and when we get to that stage I recommend we send an invitation to the petitioners to put their case to the committee so that we can hear the concerns of the 26,000 signatories. As members will be aware, we would also then invite the Minister to hear the Government's case. There is no problem with inviting the petitioners to present their case.
