I thank the shadow minister for her comments and say to her that we certainly understand the intent of Labor's proposed amendments and concede that what you are trying to achieve is to prevent an unscrupulous provider effectively having the opportunity to look over the shoulder of a person whilst they are filling out this documentation.
The government are happy to work with the opposition to ensure that we put in place a system that breaks or prevents that possibility from occurring ,that has the necessary safeguards in place, as best is possible, to achieve that break in the continuum, so that the person has the opportunity to consider the documentation before them without any possibility for coercion by the provider involved. We are certainly happy to work with the opposition in that regard.
