The Senator proposes putting this process in place for essential interventions but some of them do not require that lengthy public consultation. We have shown, on the record, that when it was needed we have done that but on the need to intervene quickly, which the Minister has the ability to do at present, that would change if we were to include the Senator's amendment. I am not sure it will achieve what she is trying to achieve.
