It is of course correct that it is government and politicians who decide the scope of this legislation. I am usually one of those people who worries about the judiciary becoming a barrier to political action. However, when a Bill hands over huge powers to the state to, for example, take money that it alone has decided a debtor can afford, based on reading their bank statements, and all by bypassing the normal judicial route of using the courts, it is right to query it.
