The government supports the need for reviews and the benefit of reviews, but does not support this particular amendment. Three-yearly reviews may not be sufficient to adequately assess the impact of the ban. Once the ban is implemented, it will take time for its impact to fully develop, and three years may not provide enough time for this to occur. Additionally, undertaking a statutory review every three years is likely to give rise to a significant administrative burden with potentially less than commensurate benefits. Three years is likely not enough time to effectively implement and monitor the impacts of any legislative changes arising from recommendations in prior reviews.
