And if I look at that report and its recommendations, it was a unanimous report, which means that you agreed with it, Member for Denison—is that correct? I will take that as a nod. That report recommended a regime modelled on the Crimes Act to deal with section 35P. You agreed with the report at the time that this legislation in part be modelled on—you agreed because the committee agreed that such a regime as 35P needed to be implemented, modelled on the Crimes Act. That is what the report from the committee you were a member of the agreed on, so for you to come back here now and say that you disagree is a stunning reversal at best.
