I can recall that report coming down as a Queensland senator. What I do know, and as I've said when talking about this issue with you and Senator Hanson, is a full repeal has the advantages of being simpler and more child-focused. It means that there will be no presumption of a particular outcome, and the court can focus on assessing what is in the child's best interests.
