I want to make clear again I am absolutely certain the Bill has been drafted to be constitutional. As I stated when I introduced the amendment, it flows from a recent appeal on a number of penalty points, and the person absolutely had the right to make the appeal. In this amendment I seek to make very explicit the rights the person has and the independence of the courts. I assure the Senator there is absolutely no other motive or rationale behind the amendment.
