The question for the government in relation to these issues is, I believe, a constitutional one. During the Senate inquiry into this piece of legislation a number of individuals before the committee raised the issue of bringing forward further litigation if indeed this legislation passed. Has the government looked at this possibility? If so, what type of resources would need to be spent on any further litigation as a result of this legislation passing?
