    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The reason we are proposing deletion of Clause 19(2) is that, that particular subclause proposes that a direction may be made pursuant to subclause 1on whether the behaviour against a protected person was committed before or after the person became a protected person. Now, you cannot apply the law retrospectively before the matter was brought before court. It has to be determined whether that behaviour was committed before the matter went to court or not. That is inconsistent with the law itself. There is no application of law retrospectively. So, we are saying that it is a bad law in itself. It remains unconstitutional and even if it went to court, it would be struck off."
