Regulatory Reform Omnibus Bill 2026

Senator HUME (Victoria—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (13:05): At the same time though, Minister, if you had been named as part of a complaint—particularly if you had been named adversely—then surely you would want to know. Potentially you could get advice that says: 'That's incorrect. My name has been sullied here by somebody that's making a complaint to the Human Rights Commission.' I would want to be able to defend myself and my reputation if I have been named in a complaint.

Don't you think that that is the procedural fairness that potentially is being circumvented here?
