Yes, that is just what I was going to say. I have the greatest of pleasure in agreeing with Senator Noone. I think that the question would be more appropriately directed at the Minister.

If the interview committee decides that a judge is unfit to be in the Supreme Court, does that mean that he or she can never sit again? How could an unfit person sit in the High Court? The thing is absolutely mad. One finds somebody is unqualified and then he or she happily goes back to sit in the High Court as if nothing had happened. It is a complete and utter nonsense and I imagine the Minister knows it.
