I doubt that, but I will carry on anyhow. Firstly, on the issue of staffing, the reviewer is to conduct an analysis of an enormous array of very complex terror legislation, review them every time they are used, or when the Prime Minister requests, or on the reviewer’s own motion. The staffing arrangement is not just modest, it is woeful—and I suspect deliberately so. Chair, I am just wondering whether Hansard has any idea what I am saying.
