I am not talking about the appropriation bill. I am talking about clause 63 of the NT emergency response bill. It has been my experience that the Scrutiny of Bills Committee regularly points out deficiencies in explanatory memoranda. I just want to add the comment that this is another area where the highly expert Scrutiny of Bills Committee has sought an explanation as to why the use of this special appropriation was not outlined in the explanatory memorandum.
