Surely, you would appreciate the need for the minister to visit the region and listen to the people who will be subjected to this draconian measure before the law passes?

And perhaps I will just seek some further detail. You said that Minister Tehan had visited the area; can you tell me how many times and who he spoke with? And, likewise, for his predecessor, Minister Tudge—how many times did he visit the Bundaberg-Hervey Bay region and with whom did he speak?
