We will have the opportunity to debate them but I would like to say how bad an idea I think they are, particularly in light of the Supreme Court decision in the Corway case. At the very least, a review is important.

I also take on board the comments of other Senators about the need to review other aspects of the Bill, particularly the unjust operation in the past of the rule about the defamation of the dead.
