Senator EVANS (Victoria) - Whilst not wishing to take any of the lustre off Senator Lewis's triumph which he has just announced to us, I confirm that the Opposition does not oppose this amendment. But it is not quite as enthusiastic about it as Senator Lewis indicates. As I sought to indicate on an earlier Bill this afternoon, the Opposition generally views sunset clauses with somewhat mixed feelings. If they are introduced with the object of providing an opportunity to reevaluate or justify the existence of an agency in particular circumstances we regard them as desirable. But if they are introduced as a stick with which to beat the small government drum so as to provide the maximum opportunity for the destruction of agencies just because they are in the public sector, then obviously we in the Opposition are rather more cautious about the concept. If we believed that the Human Rights Commission was an unequivocally worthwhile institution we would be a little cautious about creating the opportunity for its demise. But since the Human Rights Commission that is now established by this Bill as it has proceeded to this stage, is such a half-hearted inconsequential, feeble, damp squib of an institution we regard that prospect as somewhat less alarming.
