Kathleen O'Meara (Labour)

The Minister referred to a generalised approach. While such an approach might be designed to mean everything, it usually means very little. Unless something is stated specifically in legislation, there is no guarantee that it will happen. In fact, there is every likelihood that it will not happen. We have enough experience to know this is the case. Therefore, I am disappointed with the Minister's response and more convinced than ever that the amendments are necessary.
