I welcome the provision concerning the initiation of legal proceedings that has been covered by Senator Higgins's comments. The issue of privilege is very important, as those of us on the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, and even those who are not, are aware. While the general issue of privilege is slightly different to the provision as envisaged in the Bill, nevertheless it is related by virtue of the fact that legal proceedings can be initiated by the commission. The absolute privilege of Members must be protected and we will have an opportunity to enunciate that in the courts which, hopefully, will find in our favour.
