I can assure the government that we will be pursuing a full investigation. If it turns out that complete terms of reference are not referred to this inquiry, we will continue to pursue a proper investigation into all aspects of this incident.

I think the government are missing a critical opportunity to put in place provisions for a thorough investigation rather than a halfway house, which is what we are going to get. As I said, I fully appreciate and congratulate the government for acknowledging that they need to look at the regulatory powers and also for acknowledging that they may need to change the regulatory powers. Minister Ferguson has done that and I congratulate them for that, but they have only gone halfway. They need to be looking at the other areas. I will not hold up the Senate any longer, but we will continue to pursue this issue.
