I seek some information on the matter. First, I am surprised at this part of the Bill because I would have thought that these matters should be more appropriately dealt with in the definition section at the beginning of the Bill, but I see that there is not such a section.

The second point is that the two lines referred to in the amendment, if I am correct, mean that it exempts the implementation of policy from the operation of the Act. I would have thought the implementation of policy is just as important as the policy itself. In fact, that is where the real nub of the situation lies. Perhaps I am interpreting the Bill incorrectly.
