I thank the Minister for his reply. Does he accept there is general concern about the adequacy of bail laws to do the job for which they were intended, particularly in the context of modern crime and the degree to which organised criminals appear to be able to circumnavigate the bail laws? Is his Department concerned about the degree to which people who are on bail have managed to reoffend, in some cases more than twice?
