On the same line of questioning, if I could just make brief reference to the Senate Standing Committee for the Scrutiny of bills, the Alert DigestNo. 11 2014of 3 September 2014. The committee states that:

The committee’s consideration of the new provision—

that relates to the delegation—

would likely be assisted examples of the sorts of delegations that would be appropriately authorised by the proposed new power of delegation, but are not possible under the terms of the existing provision.

I wonder if the Attorney is able to assist us, as the Scrutiny of Bills Committee set out, whether it may be of assistance to this committee to understand the types of delegations that would be authorised now under this provision as distinct from the sorts of authorisations that were available previously.
