    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Majority leader rang me asking for support on this Bill. I mentioned to him that I have not seen it and neither do I know the content of the Bill. However, I will make further comments after looking at it. That is the true position as of last night. I have looked at it and I am in support of the delay for the simple reason. Although the argument is that, it has been in publication for eight months, it does not really come out strongly. First of all, I am at a loss whether the process of processing the Bill was followed. We have the Directorate of Legal Services and the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights but I do not know whether they were consulted. I am not sure of that. That is why we have to delay this Bill, so that those processes are looked into. We have a Committee that should advise us on its portents. I do not want to go into the main body of the Bill but what I am seeing here is a potential contradiction of an independent organisation that may put us in bad light. 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."
