Senator Reilly talks about the need for a noise regulator, about delays, and about rushing this Bill. If we do not get this section right, there will be further delay because it will end up in the courts. That is in nobody's interest. It is certainly not in the interests of the Department or the interests of the residents who would have to go through the stress of challenging this legislation. We should take a bit of time to reconsider. Senator Reilly is very diligent in his work and I ask him to go back and read clause 13 and Article 3(2) to see whether he interprets them in the same way I do.
