    "content": "The other thing I have a problem with in terms of Clause 2 that deals with interpretation is the meaning of the word “full”. It is stated that:- “Full” in relation to compensation for compulsory acquired land or of wayleaves, easements and public rights of way means the restoration of not more than the value of the land including improvements thereon and any other matter provided for in this Act. I think this is mischievous because there may be circumstances where “more than the value” would be well considered. I oppose this particular definition because if you are to base it on Article 40 of the Constitution, then the words “not less than” rather than “not more than” would be the most adequate in this particular provision. The aim of Article 40 is to protect owners of property or land from getting less than the value of the land or property that may be compulsorily acquired by the Government. To that effect, Clause 2 should be looked at again. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
