Joe O'Toole (Independent)

There is gorgeous irony in Senator Leyden's approach. He argues that it is somehow odd that Members on this side adopt a different position from the commissioner on some aspects of the Bill, without realising that he is doing precisely the same from the opposite perspective. I love the irony of this, although the fact that it is wasted is a little depressing.

This is an important moment to examine this issue because it proves the point made earlier. I am also glad the Senator found the end of the book in relation to the commissioner's recommendations on the original Bill. It shows we have covered a substantial amount in the past five minutes. The point Senator Leyden makes is that each of the Information Commissioner's recommendations should be considered, addressed and decided upon.
