We welcome the government's proposed amendments to fix its original drafting to ensure that the inspector of the LECC is able to undertake the same oversight role as the former inspector of the Police Integrity Commission. I do want to make the point that it is actually through the PJCIS review process that the error was identified and raised by the New South Wales government. The review of legislation like this via the PJCIS is a reform that Labor fought for and won as a condition of our support for the government's data retention legislation. Again, it is really great to see that process working so well and picking up the error that the government has made here. The inspector is going to perform a very critical role overseeing the LECC, and we are pleased support this amendment.
