You're right to articulate the concern, but I also think, looking at the language of this bill, that we are promoting an approach and a regime that get that balance right.
I say that, first, because we take advice from the public service. The public service is not partisan; it is not political.
Second, I would add one last point. Certainly, for this bill, I will endeavour to exercise the discretion that is afforded to this office in the best possible way, but in the event that there were any concerns about the way in which that discretion was exercised by me or any successor, there are judicial review mechanisms specifically contemplated by this bill, which afford transparency and accountability.
