This may end up being voted on. I am only interjecting to the extent that Senator McDowell is willing to facilitate my understanding of this. If I understand correctly, from what Senator McDowell is saying, a person who practised as a barrister or solicitor in a foreign jurisdiction more than 15 years previously and has not done so for 15 years is not deemed tainted, so it is the equivalent of a spent conviction in that regard.
