this legislation, and indeed under other legislation as well.

Title agreed to.

MR KAINE (Leader of the Opposition), by leave: This Bill is not the Bill that emerged after detailed and careful consideration by a committee as a result of a referral by the Minister himself nearly six months ago. The Liberal Party is in favour of good occupational health and safety legislation, legislation that is fair to all parties concerned. In the course of the detail stage of this Bill, matters that the Government has been waiting for six months to get put back into the Bill have been put back in and a considerable number of recommendations that emerged from the committee itself have been rejected by this Assembly in the detail stage. It is not a Bill, in its present form, that is acceptable to the Liberal Party, and I formally advise you, Mr Speaker, that the Liberals will vote against this Bill, although we agree to a Bill in principle.

Question put:

That this Bill, as amended, be agreed to.
