Yes, it is to clear this up. I probably wouldn't say that it's to be in sync with the court; I would actually probably say it's to disagree with the court. What the court found was that the Australian law was different to what governments of both persuasions have always thought was the law, and so what we're trying to do with this change is make really clear in the law what was always thought to be the law but the court thought differently. Does that make sense? That probably makes it even more confusing!
