I welcome the opportunity to contribute. I agree with previous speakers regarding the fact that the Government should extend the deadline for submissions, particularly as this framework will be in place well into the future. The fact that the debate is taking place just a number of weeks in advance of the deadline does not do the framework a service in allowing political parties and others who may be stimulated into action to make submissions on foot of this debate.
