They may know more than we do because they have been through the process. Perhaps they are being a bit coy in telling us what the difficulty is. They are the people running the credit union movement and having expressed these concerns, they have said the concerns were not adequately taken on board in the draft legislation. I am wondering what the problem is, or is it anticipated there will be a problem? Is there confidence that having had Government and Opposition representatives in here nodding and being positive towards the issues raised, it will be a straightforward process? Is it the case that people were just not listening properly? Will we have a battle on our hands or is this just a straightforward case of making the points to the Government and putting in amendments to the legislation?
