VANUSHI WALTERS (Labour—Upper Harbour): Thank you, Mr Speaker. In preparing to speak on this bill tonight. I had looked through the first reading Hansard, in which the Opposition supported this bill's passage through to select committee. I actually think my colleague, who I have a lot of respect for, Chris Penk, who's just spoken, covered very well in the first reading the rationale for the bill at that stage. His arguments in the first reading stand, although I acknowledge that we may disagree about that at this stage, so I'm going to refer to some of his comments in the first reading. But before I do, I would just say that, in my view, it's good governance, when you have foreseeable risks, to put into place an empowering or framework legislation—it is good governance. This operates as a hinge, allowing decision makers to open doors, close them, or adjust the size of the gap of an open door, to respond at pace to change in very changing circumstances.
