I would share Senator McDowell's disappointment. I am very keen, however, having received Government approval, to proceed with the drafting of a Bill to facilitate the appointment of six judges to the Court of Appeal. I do not know the veracity or otherwise of the Law Library talk, to which Senator McDowell refers, but I would share his disappointment if there was any undue relationship drawn between any new Bill and this legislation.
