Mr Collaery: We will complete the in principle debate, I take it, Mr Deputy Speaker.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I do not see any problem with that.
MS FOLLETT: Well, we support the Bill in principle.
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (11.42): I respond, unless there is another speaker to the in principle debate. I welcome the agreement by the Opposition and I assume that there will be a mover to adjourn this.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Perhaps if Ms Follett could complete her comments in principle we could get to that stage.
MS FOLLETT: I have, and so has Mr Collaery.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Detail Stage
Clause 1 (Short title)
Consideration (on motion by Mr Connolly) adjourned.
TRUCK (AMENDMENT) BILL 1990
Debate resumed from 26 April 1990, on motion by Mr Collaery:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition) (11.43): Again, Mr Deputy Speaker, I indicate that we support this Bill in principle. It is actually quite an important piece of legislation, in that it requires that people who are working be paid wages and not actually be paid in goods. It is quite an important piece of legislation although it appears somewhat archaic at first glance.
Again it is a matter of tidying up in order to meet with the views of the Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances on this matter. We will support the legislation, but we have circulated some proposed amendments and I suspect that we need to deal with this Bill in the way as we have dealt with the previous two.
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (11.44): I thank the Leader of the Opposition for her support for the Bill and indicate that we support the proposed amendment to be moved by Mr Connolly. I anticipate that he will adjourn the matter so that we can rationalise a couple of aspects in relation to that.
