Senator BOURNE (10:20 PM)
—by leave—I move:
(11) Schedule 1, item 12, page 28 (line 30), omit "exceptional circumstances", substitute "circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen".
(12) Schedule 1, item 12, page 29 (line 20), omit "exceptional circumstances", substitute "circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen".
(13) Schedule 1, item 12, page 30 (line 18), omit "exceptional circumstances", substitute "circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen".
We are seeking to substitute for the term `exceptional circumstances' the term `circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen'. As I understand it, the problem that the national broadcasters have with the term `exceptional circumstances' is that there could be three circumstances that might occur together, none of which are exceptional but which, when taken together, will cause problems. The exceptional part of it would be that they all happen together. They believe that substituting `circumstances which could not reasonably have been foreseen' will cover everything and that it will be a real safety net for them.
