I thank the witnesses for the strong support they have expressed here for the Adult Safeguarding Bill that was brought into existence by Senator Kelleher. Significant parts of the Disability Act 2005 are not in operation. They concern looking at a range of services and supports that people need. The advocacy side of it, in the Citizens Information Act 2007, has not been triggered. It is important for us to remember that the passing of legislation, as distinct from its full enactment, is an issue.
