I thank Mr Flynn. In relation to that comment on section 250, it is very deficient and does not provide enough information as to what is being proposed. I suppose it is important to bear in mind that this is a first draft of a very large item of legislation and I expect there will be much more detail on that section in relation to costs. Both witnesses covered the point very well that the Act and all the amendments that went with it over the past 23 years created really difficult impenetrable legislation and that this was absolutely needed to try to consolidate what was there.

I will go to the members now and Senator Fitzpatrick will take the first slot.
