Again, it's not unusual, when government legislation is proposed, that some stakeholders say it's great and some say it's bad. That's kind of what happens. My understanding is that, just as there were some stakeholders who said they were not supportive of this legislation, groups like the Australian Discrimination Law Experts Group, women's legal services, the ACTU and others said they did support it. It's a democracy. Some people support the legislation. Some people don't. Senator Scarr, you'll choose who you believe.
