Senator PRATT (Western Australia) (14:11): My question this afternoon is to Senator Johnston, the Minister representing the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. I refer to comments by the Deputy Prime Minister, who said in December last year that in amending the Qantas Sale Act the majority of Australian people and certainly the majority of people elected to the parliament at the present time—especially in the Senate—do not favour that course of action. Given that only three months have passed, what has changed?
