The coalition will not be supporting this amendment either. We believe that already there is a great deal of discretion applied to what constitutes misconduct and what constitutes an inadvertent breach. I believe that, notwithstanding the sincerity with which Senator Siewert approaches the issue of those with mental illness, that will be considered in any response or any punitive action taken against those who are in breach.
