The answer to the question asked by Senator Healy Eames was that there would be no difference in practice. What does this mean? What we fear is the current inadequacy of the law with regard to women's lives. We cannot have it both ways. We cannot state we can change the law but nothing will change or that there will be no difference. I would like clarification if possible. I appreciate it is complicated.
