The amendments that I have tabled determine that there has to be proof of the commission of an offence. It is important that people, as I have said already, need to know what they are charged with. They then need to have an opportunity to challenge that and require the engaged officer to produce a burden of proof. Amendment No. 1aj says, "details of reason for grounds for believing that an offence has been committed and details of proof". It is the same idea.
