The Minister is doing very well. He has provided the legal advice and he has confirmed that there has been a surge of claims, but he disappoints the Committee when he says that commencement will be one year after Royal Assent. Can I put it this way? If, as a result of any counter legal advice he receives and subsequent discussions, a way through this alleged human rights issue can be found, will he reconsider the commencement date?
