I am happy to withdraw our amendments in that context. I thank the Minister for indicating her intentions. We can get into the detail later but it is so important that in this House a clear signal is sent that this is going to be a clear responsibility and function. A point that was very well made by Senator Malcolm Byrne, which I would urge the Minister to bear in mind when crafting her own amendment, is that while there should be a clearly designated role, that should not dilute the wider responsibility of the commission. It should mean that there is a leader with responsibility.
