George Brandis (Queensland, Liberal Party, Attorney-General) Share this | Hansard source

Senator Bernardi, there is no ambiguity because this subsection makes it perfectly clear. If I may read it to you and read it onto the record in case there are people following this debate, we would insert a new section 2B into section 18C so that it would now read:

For the purposes of subsection (1)—

which is the head provision—

an act may be:

(a) a single isolated act; or

(b) one of a series of acts; or

(c) one of a group of related acts.

Now, that actually removes any ambiguity whatsoever and gives the word 'harassment' its widest connotation.
