I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1)–(3) Yes, the findings of the review of the act point to the need for amendments to be considered on a range of matters, including objects, functions, governance, disciplinary provisions, and the act’s provisions in relation to similar provisions in the working with children legislation. The nature of any amendments and where such amendments are to be made will firstly need to be considered by cabinet.
