Ms Amy Hassett:

I will add a brief point to Nem's. It is my understanding that now is the time to start pushing for the ratification of the optional protocol. We were told that it was necessary to wait until the Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Act 2022 had passed. That has now happened. If I remember correctly, we are waiting on a commencement date. Either way, now is the time for the optional protocol. There is no reason for it to be delayed any further.
