I have some sympathy with what Senator Quinn is saying. Being too prescriptive in legislation is a bad idea. My instincts are the same as Senator Quinn's. Legislation should not deny people the opportunity to take a risk. I ask the Minister of State to think about the inclusion of this paragraph.

Legislation dates very quickly in some instances. The Bill might be improved by the removal of this measure. It is not for the authority to decide commercial risk values. I ask the Minister of State to consider this a little further.
