The disclosure of content, which is what legal professional privilege protects, would be a violation of the principle. That is why what this bill categorically does is prohibit the collection of content. I have not read actually the submission by the Law Institute of Victoria, so I find it hard to comment on it specifically. I did read the Mr Duncan McConnell's op ed. But it is enough, I think, to bear in mind that if content were captured then that could be a violation.

Progress reported.
