This concerns the definition section. The ruling makes it difficult for us to do our job. While part of our proposals might involve a charge, there is a benefit and saving included. I will not labour the point but just want to say that it is difficult for those of us in opposition to contribute, because we are not given the option, even where we are progressive, if there is a charge involved. Despite the fact there may be a benefit further down the track, we are prevented from contributing, unless the Government takes our suggestion on board.
