What do you say to organisations such as the Family Law Practitioners Association of Queensland, which called for the inclusion of a provision? Again, they're trying to make this legislation better; they're not disagreeing with the section. I'm saying there's bad drafting. They have called for the inclusion of a provision allowing the court to assess or give weight to a child's views. They said, 'This is significant as parents often take the view that a child's views should be determinative even at a young age.'
