So that people participating in the debate understand, I took very senior and very specialised advice in designing the amendments. This is not one of those things you can knock off on the back of a cigarette box. When the government are considering matters, perhaps they might look at some of the concepts which have been fed to me to try and resolve what the minister has properly identified as thorny issues and which the shadow Attorney-General has indicated need some thought. These amendments come with a fairly good pedigree in their design. That is all I will say on that.
