I just took a look there - I referred to exactly what we are doing now. I was reading from my Second Stage contribution on judicial reviews of the administrative process word for word. There is a great deal of misinformation going around in Senators' responses today.

The sixth set of Government amendments relates to technical amendments to the Maritime Area Planning Act 2021. These amendments were recommended and drafted by the Office of the Attorney General. Section 56 of the 2021 Act will be amended to allow for the appointment of a chief executive officer designated by the Minister ahead of the establishment of the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority, MARA. Others of the amendments provided are technical in nature to support the establishment of the new marine planning system.
