I have some questions to the government in relation to the bill. Obviously I outlined the opposition of the Greens to this piece of legislation in my contribution to the second reading debate. I ask the minister how the government justifies the breach of the separation of powers in that this legislation is being introduced to change the current act while this question is before the courts in Victoria.
