Attorney-General, can you explain why the word 'harass' is now to be included where previously it was not. Can you comment on or explain or confirm the fact that the inclusion of harassment and intimidation refers to the desire of the person accused of harassing and intimidating to actually have an impact on the behaviour of the person against whom the harassment and/or the intimidation has been levelled, in contrast to offend or to insult, which is more associated, as I understand it, with the offence to the person but without having an effect on the behaviour or the daily activity of the person who would be the subject of the offence or the intimidation.
