CITY AREA LEASES (AMENDMENT) BILL 1991
Detail Stage
Consideration resumed.
Clause 4
MR MOORE (5.21): Mr Deputy Speaker, pursuant to standing order 133 I move:
That the clause be taken paragraph by paragraph.
I have presented some amendments and Mr Connolly has presented some amendments and they fall around each other. The logical and rational way to deal with this is simply to take it paragraph by paragraph. I assure the Assembly that I am not in any way using this as an attempt to filibuster or to waste time; I have no intention of doing that. I will make the points I need to make. It really is simply a standard method, under standing order 133, of dealing with a complicated set of amendments.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Does anyone have a problem with that? What Mr Moore is proposing is to take clause 4 paragraph by paragraph, and apparently Mr Connolly's amendments slot in there too.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Paragraph 4(a)
MR MOORE (5.22): I do not know whether the proposed procedure for the detail stage consideration has been circulated. If that were to be circulated, I think people would realise that this is a quite sensible method of operation. I wonder whether that could happen.
Mr Deputy Speaker, perhaps what we could do is start by dealing with the first paragraph, which anyway would cover my first amendment. We could start by dealing with this while people then consider that. We could then come back to this being a problem if people find that it is a problem to deal with it that way.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Please continue, Mr Moore, whilst that is being photocopied. At least we can get some of the business done.
MR MOORE: I move:
Page 2, line 12, after "lease", insert "in relation to the purpose for which the land subject to the lease may be used".
I quote from a report by David Hall, entitled The Future Planning and Development of Canberra: An Evaluation of Current Policies, which was presented at the behest of the National Capital Planning Authority. He said:
