Because I intend to use this power to bring forward a regulation in the case I have outlined. I will do this because I believe that will improve the operation of the Act. I will bring that regulation before the committee and before I lay it before the Houses and people can decide whether they approve it. However, I believe this is a reasonable approach. The instance I have outlined to the Senators is an unreasonable practice that we should stamp out and I will use this power for that. I have no intention of using it for any of the reasons given by the Senators to pretend the game is out or all the things of which Senator Norris has accused me. No game is out. The game is that I am producing a single instance. I will bring in regulation and Members will have an opportunity to look at it. I will bring us before the committee in order that people can see it and that is the purpose of this section.
