Yes, I do. The legislative caseload he has introduced, with all of his other work, is transformative. It is refreshing to see a Gordian knot-type approach being taken to reform. It contrasts with the St. Augustine approach that characterised the previous Administration when it was already ready to take action but only after one more report had been produced. The Minister has introduced a legislative framework for whistleblowers and the Ombudsman and the issues of freedom of information, ethics and lobbying. It is truly transformative. When will these five pieces of legislation be introduced in the House? What is the timeframe for their introduction?
