I have been advised the Australian Government Solicitor was the body who provided the advice in response to the Productivity Commission's issues in relation to the constitutionality of the loans. My understanding is that the particular issue of constitutionality that was raised by the Productivity Commission actually related to the loans program that is currently being administered and not to the new loans and the operation of the RIC.
