    "content": " I am reading the definition in Clause 2 (b), in conjunction with Schedule 1, of the substantive Act. If you read Schedule 1 of the substantive Act, it already enumerates the reporting agents. You will see that those reporting agents include casino operators, dealers in precious stones, estate agents and such other professions. Now, advocates are supposed to join that hallowed list. It is quite telling for a profession that is usually described as noble to be put in that category. The fundamental point is, other than being unconstitutional, is it unnecessary? If the intention is to give an authority to include any other profession, it can be demonstrated and justified. Then it already exists in the substantive Act in Section 2 (g) as I referred to, which gives the Minister the advice of the centre. But in including the lawyers, then it does not depend on advice or anything - they are just included. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
