While there is always the risk something like that could happen, as the Minister of State has said, the person can go to court to seek redress. This legislation will no doubt be challenged by people who do not have the best interests of the State at heart, similar to the last legislation, which was one of the most litigated pieces of legislation that ever went through these Houses. Nonetheless, I accept the amendment was tabled in good faith and I ask the Minister of State to keep this issue under review. In the short to medium term, the Minister might get the officials to see if the Senator's concerns are borne out when the Act is commenced.
