If there is a specified list, however, could the argument be made that it could become in some way or another predominant? The way the Bill is drafted at present means it is very open. An applicant can bring any issue he or she wishes to the court's attention and it is very broad. I have listened to what Members have said and we will take those points away and go through them. We can engage again with Senators and possibly come back on Report Stage, if that is the advice, with proposed amendments.
