Thank you very much.
Just in response, I think you raised two separate issues in that last intervention, Nathan. The first deals with the appropriateness of an exemption at all. The second is about the lack of protections against misuse, and the possibility that it would be used in secret.
On the first one, I do accept that there are some possible circumstances in which a public interest exemption would be well placed. I appreciate that you likely disagree or consider that it's dealt with elsewhere in the legislation. I do have an issue with the current draft, and I do intend to move an amendment subsequently that hopefully will help quell the second concern.
I really do have some issues around the use of a public interest exemption with no transparency, and no release to the public on why you're doing it or the fact that you're doing it. I hope the amendment I propose will achieve this. In the general sense, I appreciate a public interest flexibility in a number of different pieces of legislation, so long as the public is aware that it is being exercised.
