As I said earlier, the government will continue to consider the recommendations made by the Senate Legal and Constitutional Legislation Committee, and that consideration will take place over the coming months. In the event that further amendments are necessary, the government anticipates addressing those issues in the spring sittings this year. I cannot give an undertaking on the run tonight as to whether any particular recommendation will be adopted or not, but I can say that the government will consider recommendations made by the Senate committee in its report. The Attorney-General has made that clear and I reiterate that tonight. I think that is relevant to the point that Senator Ludwig has made.
