Khalwale has made a very passionate plea for us to look a little more seriously at how the role of the Senate can be better defined in this Bill. I know the role of the Senate is in the Constitution, but there are some aspects, or areas, which can be brought here, as they are not consistent with the Constitution; we need help in dealing with this. I agree that in some areas of dispute resolution--- Even if they were to go to a judicial process--- I think we should always try and explore all other mechanisms that can help us without people going to litigation; I believe the Senate can also play a useful role in this area."}
