Nevertheless there may be an argument about whether or not 69(fa) should still be drafted in these terms, but I understand that is the government’s position. The only function that you have identified for which there is some difficulty because of the current structure of the act is in relation to asbestos claims. Surely you could put in a specific provision. Minister, are there any issues, other than what you have identified, that the government sees Comcare being currently unable to deal with as a result of the structure of the legislation?
