		ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope's website posting of the legislation on Friday won't affect the Senate inquiry's length, but it does mean the debate about the bill's nitty gritty gets under way much earlier than the Government had planned.
		Stanhope's defiant action prompted the Government (through calls from bureaucrats, including the head of the Prime Minister's Department, Peter Shergold) to try unsuccessfully to get the draft bill taken down.
		But at least, thanks to Stanhope, the cautionary voices now have a little better chance to be heard and more weight will be put on small-l liberals in the Coalition to act as watchdogs.
