Minister, I asked you earlier about the capacity for funds to discharge the obligation to obtain information under the scheme as you propose in the amendments. I asked you about it in the capacity that you will obtain information. Can I ask you to contemplate a scenario where a trustee makes a decision not to bring an individual member into group insurance on an opt-out basis, and they make that decision based on erroneous information that they hold about that person's risk profile? Is that trustee then vulnerable to legal action from a dependent who subsequently finds themselves without any benefit in the event of a death?
