I thank the Senator for her contribution. Unfortunately, I cannot accept the proposed amendment, as section 177D is being repealed under section 21 of the Bill and the exceptional circumstance criteria under section 177D(2) are being moved wholesale to section 177K as the new subsection (1J), as inserted by section 16 of the Bill.
