On a point of information, the legislation states: “The Minister shall, not later than 3 years after the commencement of this section, carry out a review of the operation of this Act.” Arguably, the review should have been carried out within that three-year period. It is not that the Minister has to commence the review in that time but rather that the review should have been carried out. That is an important clarification on the wording of the legislation.
