European Convention on Human Rights Bill 2001: Second Stage.
I also received a brief from the Children's Rights Alliance. Again, it comes down very much against the method of incorporation the Government has chosen because it is minimalist. The alliance is looking for the legislation to be amended so that there is full incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights. I understand that some amendments have been tabled. I received some amendments from the Law Society which I have put down. My colleagues, Senator Terry and Senator Henry, have probably received similar correspondence because I notice many of the amendments are virtually identical.
