I may have missed it in the minister’s remarks before I came in, but it would be useful to know how it is we are faced with 104 amendments to a relatively small bill in such a short time frame. Why were these mistakes made? Was it a typical case of bills being rushed into the parliament without proper consideration and consultation?
