I think this again demonstrates that this bill is certainly about attacking the trade union movement. The minister just is not capable of identifying the equivalence between the Corporations Act and the new penalties that are engaged in this bill. The Law Council itself has said clearly that this goes far too wide, that it is a bill that is unclear, that the penalties are not well defined and that people are not aware of some of the issues that they could face jail over. They were scathing about this bill. Do you have any comment, Minister, about the Law Council's concerns in relation to the bill?
