Brandis, Sen George

Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate, Vice-President of the Executive Council, Minister for Arts and Attorney-General) (14:41): I am considering at the moment all of the submissions that have been received by the government—some 5½ thousand of them—in response to the exposure draft that I published at the beginning of April. I do not agree with the proposition which some, but not others assert: that section 18C in its current form serves its legislative purpose well.
