I'm aware that there is a range of submissions on this subject area. I have never said that the Criminal Code at Commonwealth and state levels is set in stone and should never be altered or examined. My point is that what is before us is legislation to establish a civil penalties regime, that we should have this legislation passed in its current form and that there are other processes and opportunities to examine the criminal law. At the moment, the prime vehicle for that is the Law, Crime and Community Safety Council.
