I am not sure if I have misunderstood the point because I agree with Senator McDowell insofar as I believe there should be greater political discretion. One of the downsides of this Bill is that it removes that. Surely the amendment he is suggesting would remove exactly the kind of discretion he is talking about. Would it not be favourable, therefore, to leave the language in section 13 as it is because it allows for that political discretion to be vested in the Minister?
