Parliamentary Secretary, I presume you would acknowledge that the department has viewed the differing interpretations of the Smith decision with some concern. Are you aware that the department noted the significance of the findings in the 2009-10 annual report by observing that there remain different views on the extent and application of the Smith decision? Is this legislation relating to the nature and extent of the application of the Smith decision, or is it a lack of clarity that you are effectively talking about in this schedule?
