The assisted decision-making (capacity) (amendment) Bill 2021 will make a significant difference for many people and institutions, including State institutions. When will that legislation be enacted and operational?

I thank the Deputy. I understand that legislation is currently awaiting pre-legislative scrutiny. It will take time for the committee to complete hearings and a report on it before we can bring it back into the Houses.
