There is a contradiction of opinion in that there is significant criticism of those heads, that they do not meet the Tele2 judgment threshold.

There is a general concern that, in the drafting of this provision, it has failed to reach the appropriate threshold of protection that underpins the Murray report. While people welcome the drafting and the changes to the legislation, there is still concern that the threshold has not been matched. Has Ms Moore received or incorporated submissions or discussed this with various organisations and have the witness responded to their concerns?
