One of the problems nowadays is that we start simply, but the process can eventually get very complicated. Most people have insurance policies with plenty of small print that nobody ever reads. My understanding of a code of practice is that it would not work unless it can be very simple, written in layman's language and is not too long. It should cut to the chase. Otherwise, people will be getting into something of which they are not aware. There is a proviso that it is the intention of the Department to have an accessible document, written in ordinary and understandable English, which can be widely disseminated. People must be aware of this basic stuff.

The computer is a fantastic invention in some ways but one of the problems it has created is making everything too wordy. Nobody reads half of the words because there are so many of them. I will not be pressing the amendment.
