My colleague opposite has raised a curious question which was raised here a number of weeks ago by Senator Jim Walsh and myself concerning the engagement by the banks. The banks are already ahead of the curve in going out to meet these personal insolvency people to get them on side. There seems to have been a lot of meetings between the banks and the Department on how this will work. If the banks are part of the problem, they had better be part of the solution. Can the minutes of the lobbying done by the banks on their own behalf be made available so that we can know what they were looking for and, in the end, what was or was not included in the Bill? Perhaps the Minister could clarify that.
