Amendment No. 18 provides for the amendment of the Long Title of the Bill and this is necessary simply because of the insertion of the section of the Bill to provide for the amendment to the Defamation Act. Amendment No. 11 asks that no later than 12 months after the coming into operation of section 64 the Minister shall review the operation of the amendment effected by the section and lay before each House a report on his or her conclusions.
