I support the Senator who has raised a valid point. I take the Minister of State at his word but the Bill states "seize and sell property belonging to the fined person and recover from the proceeds of the sale of that property a sum equal to the amount...", and the amount is not specified. We are taking an extreme example but Senator Quinn's comments are valid. Perhaps a definition of "property" is needed to clarify that we are not talking about a family home.
