BILLS › Social Security and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2011
Senator CHRIS EVANS (Western Australia—Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills, Science and Research and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (01:06): My advice is that our legal advice is: yes, it is a special measure—we have had legal advice to that effect—and also that everything would be challengeable under the Racial Discrimination Act, as it applies. So people could mount a challenge if they had concerns. But yes: our advice is that it is a special measure.
