Absolutely! We can also use a statutory review as an opportunity to consider whether broader corporate crime measures should also be considered. This could again mean changes like the ones we proposed last time, which would have meant that, when prosecuting a corporate entity, 'dishonesty' means the same thing in both the Criminal Code and the Corporations Act. How refreshing would that be? It could bring in other ways to improve the prosecution of corporate crime.

In the meantime, we invite the government to reconsider its opposition to deferred prosecution agreements. As I said, we will support this bill because, basically, it's ours.
