Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Bill

Moving her head. I am reasonably sure—I am satisfied—that the Solicitor-General was moving her head. Often the question will be asked during the course of argument before a judge, ““What is the burden and what is the standard of proof?”” I appreciate that many cases are not necessarily decided on the standard or burden of proof, but we are making criminal justice legislation here and it is incumbent on us not to rush this through simply because it is getting late. It is important that we lay out clearly to the courts how we expect them to apply the legislation.
