00:00These tough new bail laws include measures that will start immediately.
00:05Measures that will start immediately, and our justice system has the capacity for these changes.
00:11When these changes come into place, should the parliament make that decision at the end of this week,
00:16for these measures to come in place as soon as the bill is passed.
00:20We've just got the legislation last night and we haven't gone through the bill briefing.
00:23So you didn't read it last night?
00:25I did read the bill last night, but we still haven't had the bill briefing.
00:29And in that bill there is also some exemptions in there, and we want to make sure that those exemptions,
00:33that we aren't making any amendments to make it tougher.
00:36I attended a bill briefing yesterday afternoon, and in fact Michael O'Brien's colleagues were on the briefing.
00:43I had started the briefing with his colleagues.
00:47His colleagues wanted to hear about the bill and wanted the briefing.
00:52We had commenced that briefing when he then joined the call and chucked his tantrum,
00:59and advised his colleagues to get off the call.
01:03They were in shock, I think, as much as everyone else on that call.
01:07The briefing was then re-offered again in the evening.
01:11I understand that Michael may have been out to dinner.
01:15However, the bill was provided to them.
01:18I also briefed other parties last night as well.
