While I accept the amendment is well intentioned, it may create an undefined criminal offence. For example, it may implicate those involved in the publication of articles about asylum seekers, regardless of whether they had committed an offence. The legislation means that, as Minister, I will withdraw from providing a guarantee of secrecy by means of the requirement that my consent be obtained and leave it to the asylum seeker to protect his or her own interest. The amendment seeks to ensure that in such circumstances the media must not exploit a naive asylum seeker by providing for informed consent being a precondition for publicity of this kind. While I understand its purpose, unless we are willing to set out in an appendix to the legislation a workable formula that sets out for the media what can and cannot be done, the good intention of the amendment would create confusion as to whether an offence was committed.
