We could call it whatever we want in the end. We need to do that work with a sense of urgency and with a full understanding and cognisance of the complexities that it will entail. The Senator is aware of that more than most because of her law background.

We need to engage and to get into that work, if the Senators insist that this is not workable. We have not even had a full discussion on it yet or put forward the argument that it does not allow for that right to identity or access to information. At the same time, there has to be something in that alternative - if there are others, that is fine - that offers a form of protection of the privacy because that is part of our constitutional make-up.
