Senator Brian Hayes drew attention to the statement of the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service on the Freedom of Information (Amendment) Bill 2003. He also wondered whether any amendments would be introduced in the House. The Minister is coming before the House later and I know that, as always, he will give a good account of himself. Senator O'Toole joined Senator Hayes in expressing concern about the work of the joint committee. I saw some of last week's hearings, although I did not see yesterday's, and it seems that the committee has done very good work. It is, however, the Minister, the Government and Members of the Houses who have the power to make amendments and not the committees, whose job is to put forward proposals and wait to see whether they are accepted. Although it cannot make amendments, the committee has done terrific work and its members deserve praise.
