Senator Rice read out the same section of the bill that I've previously read out. The legislation is self-explanatory. As it says in very strict language and very clear language, I would have thought, of the clear requirements around the selection of consultative committee members:

A person must not be appointed as a member of the Committee unless the person has expertise or experience in 2 or more of the following areas …

It makes clear that it is two or more, not anything different.
