Thank you.
I'd like to ask a question about clauses 6 and 15 of the bill, which would replace the discretionary framework for forfeiture and disposal of property seized or restrained under the two current acts with fixed timelines requiring the minister to apply for forfeiture within 12 months and to dispose of the forfeited property within 30 days. This is a big shift from a discretionary approach to a time-bounded mandatory approach.
I'm wondering, Sir Browder, if you or any of the other witnesses have any views on this part of the bill.
