Professor Bill Rolston:

I will make a stab at it. I can think of a couple of things off the top of my head. First, it is not something that is taken lightly. Second, there is some history of success but also some history of failure with regard to such interstate cases. Third, there may be what looks like a sort of genuine sense of seeing if this could be amended or worked out if we let it roll for a wee bit. Regarding the last point, Mr. Thompson already answered it. It is not redeemable. Despite the complexity, the gravitas of bringing such a case and past failures, it has to happen. It simply has to happen because it is the only way forward to try to stop this Act continuing to cause harm.
