I agree with the honourable member for Denison that it is appropriate, as I said, that in 2007 judges ought to be able to serve beyond the age of 70. I think he quite rightly drew to our attention the fact that there needs to be a mechanism, and my question to the honourable member is: what sort of mechanism do you think should be put in place? I think your suggestion is valuable—it is essential—and I accept that you would need that mechanism if you were to have the age extended.
