MR BERRY: Is it an issue of privacy or is it not? Your amendment says "in relation to each relevant provider registered by the Board". That is what you say. So there is a privacy issue. I do regret not having time to talk at greater length with Mrs Carnell about the issue, but - - -
Mrs Carnell: I did table it at the last sitting.
MR BERRY: As I said to you tonight - - -
Mr Humphries: Have you tried to get in touch?
MR BERRY: We did advise you tonight, but I could not get down to talk to - - -
Mrs Carnell: No, you did not advise me at all.
MR BERRY: We advised your office. You do not answer your own phone these days, I trust. I trust that you do not answer your own phone, and I do not always ring you. In fact I never do.
Mr Humphries: She rang four times and there was nobody answering her call.
Mr De Domenico: The Trades and Labour Council wrote to him four times and he has not responded to them yet either.
MR BERRY: No, I think that was an accusation by somebody else, Tony. Get it right.
Mr De Domenico: They have it wrong, have they?
MR BERRY: No, you have. You always get it wrong. So, Mr Deputy Speaker, we have a situation where there is an amendment which will breach privacy. There is also a group of amendments which are to be proposed by Mr Moore and which will make it more difficult in the future, I fear, to recruit the right sort of people for these positions. But I thank members for their support for the legislation. I warmly thank you.
