    "content": "assume that to be an hon. Member you must have a good character. Otherwise, why would your electorate elect you to represent them unless they are telling the whole world that yours is a character that they are happy with? As I wind up, I want again to get back to the point that I started with. I want to believe that Clause 15 (3) states that it is the AG who will decide whether or not consent should be given for the transfer of a prisoner on the terms proposed by the transferring country and notify the transferring country whether consent--- When it comes to matters of determining legal issues, we should not condition it on individual. We need to come up with a committee to be making such a decision because the Attorney-General, as an individual, can expose us, as a country. We have seen cases where the recklessness of State officers has exposed this country. I want to mention something not so related but similar, this is the Anglo-Leasing scandal. The AG’s Office has been accused of exposing this country badly in the Anglo-Leasing cases. Supposing the Anglo-Leasing cases were cases of terrorists who wanted to harm this country, the decisions of the AG would have exposed this country to serious harm. I would urge that when we come to amending this Bill, we remove the excess powers given to the AG. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support."
