I presume that organisations spend more time worrying about that because the procurement system in this State does not have any statutory provisions around abnormally low tenders. In other jurisdictions there are provisions on the Statute Book so that if a tender is below a certain percentage of the adjusted average price then they can be eliminated without fear of the contractor taking legal action. Is that something we should consider, on the basis of Mr. Buckley's experience? Maybe I am drifting into policy now. Would it be helpful to the situation if the threat of the lowest bidder taking legal action in certain circumstances was taken off the table?
