We might misunderstand each other. The Minister has drafted a new Bill, the fines (amendment) Bill and would like to have it published and enacted as soon as possible. The weight of legislation that needs to be drawn up for other issues is enormous. With regard to the Fines Act 2010, three elements have been enacted. The section dealing with attachments and how we can deal with people who, as in the case cited by the Senator, are defiant and would prefer two weeks or a month in prison needs to be tightened up. The Minister has drafted new legislation and we are all on the one page.
