I have just one question: in terms of the forensic procedures, is that a matter that was touched upon by the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody and recommended for changes in the Crimes Amendment (Forensic Procedures) Bill 2001? Does that accord with what you are doing now? Or is this in fact cutting across what was originally recommended in the Aboriginal deaths in custody report? Is what you are doing now removing some of the safeguards that were mentioned in that royal commission report?
