Sorry, Senator Cash. I'll just do that one again. The court will have discretion to consider a child's views in light of the child's particular circumstances and determine how much weight to place on them. It is not anticipated that the court would need to consider a child's views which are not relevant to the parenting proceedings and determining what is in the child's best interests. Apologies.
