I do not think it is reasonable that at this Stage of the legislation we should be in a position to put figures on allowances or superannuation. I say to Senator Norris that it is entirely appropriate in similar legislation that these would be issues to be determined by the commission with the approval of the Minister and, of course, the involvement of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. I point to the Legal Services Regulatory Authority, for one.
