My colleague Mr. Saini, I think has an important amendment to proposed section 6.1 that I look forward to supporting.
If new paragraph 6.1(1)(a) is removed, that perhaps resolves some concern that we've heard. If that is removed, my question is this. In relation to proposed clause 6, which we're dealing with now, I understand already in the act it says that the request shall be made in writing. I understand if it were not made in writing, the department could refuse to process that request.
That being the case, what's the difference between that requirement and the requirement “shall set out the following information”: (a), (b), (c). If (a), (b), (c) are not met, isn't it the same thing as an oral request and the department will simply be able to decline it? If not, maybe you could clear up that ambiguity.
