Paragraph (b) of Senator Terry's amendment provides that for the purpose of assisting him or her in making such a review under this section, the Minister may consult any such organisations or representatives as he or she considers appropriate. The point Senator Terry and I are making is that we would not want the review to take place behind closed doors. We want to ensure it will be done openly and that the Minister is obliged to consult with those involved. I believe it would strengthen the Bill to include this aspect. Perhaps the Minister of State will say it will happen anyway or the Minister of the day is obliged to consult because this is what a review means. I would like to hear his views.
