I thank the Minister and her Department for their work on this Bill. It is a massive and complex piece of legislation, and there have been many amendments submitted by Senators. They have worked very hard. I hope they can rest and recuperate over the recess.

I concur with the comments made about the guillotine. It is shocking in our democracy and should not be allowed. I want to raise the progress of the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022 progress through this House.

I also salute all my colleagues who …
