I certainly hope it will be game, set and match. While I do not normally engage in toing and froing on amendments of this nature, I do not like the tone of the Senator's approach to the amendment. What he outlined is definitely not what is intended in the context of this amendment. As I informed the Minister of State, we support the Bill. We are trying to ensure everyone will have access to due process and that when the latter has been observed in this jurisdiction, this will be respected in others. The Senator may not have been present when I cited a number of examples regarding abuses of power by governments in other jurisdictions. It was in that context the amendment was tabled.
