On 16 April 2021, it was reported back to the House with extensive amendments agreed by the select committee. They were unanimously accepted in the second reading on 12 May. However, on 24 May, the Chief Justice wrote to the Attorney-General raising concerns about the implications of some of the amendments that had been agreed. One of the key areas raised was the amended wording of the proposed verdict. I tabled Supplementary Order Paper 52 at the time, in response to some of the Chief Justice's concerns. However, on 30 June, the bill was referred back to the select committee with the instruction that the committee consider the Chief Justice's advice on the bill.
