I suggest that this issue would be the subject matter of consideration by the commission. After all, we are empowering and enabling the commission to set its own rules in terms of the practice and procedure. I draw Senator McDowell's attention to section 53(5)(g) and (h) on the matter of the "the need for good standards of communication with applicants for judicial office, and the provision otherwise of a good standard of service to them in respect of applications made by them under this Act". That might fit the bill along the lines of the suggestion or proposal made by Senator McDowell. It is eminently reasonable that the matter would be considered.
