Mr. Kevin Condon:

The scheme could be represented as quite a rigorous blueprint for a much more robust process. The later heads of the Bill provide for that, for example, by bringing forward quite detailed statements of skills and attributes that potential judges would be required to have, as well as more rigorous selection procedures. It would be fair to say that that kind of robust approach is not fully reflected in the process that is in place now. We have no advice that any constitutional change would be required to allow this more rigorous approach to be brought forward in the proposed Bill.
