Committee on Defence and National Security
General Scheme of the Defence (Amendment) Bill 2025: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am

Perhaps I will put a question myself. I thank the witnesses for their contributions. We at this committee are trying to make the best decisions but have severe time constraints in respect of the pre-legislative scrutiny of this Bill. Mr. Brennan said he was surprised by the public reaction and how the public has misinterpreted what the removal of the triple lock is all about. Does that not lend itself to the possibility of having a referendum or a wider forum where all of that could be discussed so that people fully understand what this legislation is all about?
