I was referring to the increased penalties under the Navigation Act as proposed under this legislation for people who falsely represent themselves as qualified. I was explaining quite clearly to the chamber the consequences of people misrepresenting themselves as being fully qualified and that this has caused an absolute disaster in the Queensland health system. If we have the same thing happening with the people driving our ships around the country then we have a serious problem.
