Thank you, Minister; but do you have any legal advice? My understanding is that in the sort of legislation that you were talking about—and, indeed, in this legislation—you can have procedural fairness that does not require the disclosure of sensitive information. There was a discussion about this by the Australian Law Reform Commission that basically outlined that procedural fairness is still required, even where sensitive information is not disclosed.
