I have a question for the Attorney-General. It is along the same lines as Senator Wright's question. I would like the Attorney-General to explain this to me so that I understand it. Is there a history of judges exercising their discretion in cases where the criteria for restraining assets have been met and yet the court has decided not to restrain those assets? If there is not a history of that, why is the independence of the judiciary being impeded in this bill?
