I think they offer a lot by identifying and championing issues.
Look at the Land Use Framework from the previous session. The first draft that passed had some terrible passages in it that were passed. The opposition continued to hammer the government and highlight the problems with the bill until they relented and revised the contentious portions of the bill.
