The Minister might send a note.

I go back to the previous issue I raised about the operation of the Act. The Minister has explained the main purpose of the review is to look at the operation of the Act as opposed to the policy which underpins it. The submission from the Abortion Rights Campaign states that the review should look at the substance of the law, the associated guidelines and any need for reform as well as at the operation of the current Act. Will what that group is seeking be possible within the terms of reference of the review?
