the ACT about the impact of the fees which were introduced on 1 April this year for certain proceedings in the Supreme Court. I am pleased to say that those discussions have been fruitful, and the Government is of the view, as a result of those discussions, that the present fees should be withdrawn and other fees discussed and agreed to between the Government and those parties affected by them, particularly members of the Law Society.
Madam Speaker, on our side, we are very happy to see that dialogue occur and we are satisfied that as a result of that dialogue better fees will be introduced. I have received an assurance from the Attorney that the present fees will be withdrawn at a suitable juncture, and their withdrawal will be made retrospective to 1 April this year, that is, from the point at which they were introduced. I believe that that is a satisfactory outcome and I think it obviates the need for me to proceed with these motions on the notice paper.
MADAM SPEAKER: Do you want to withdraw them entirely from the notice paper?
MR HUMPHRIES: Madam Speaker, I am happy to do that.
MADAM SPEAKER: Notice No. 1 has been called on. If you just sit down, that will be fine.
The Clerk: Assembly Business, Notice No. 2.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Humphries has indicated that he does not wish to proceed. That is fine.
The Clerk: Assembly Business, Notice No. 3.
MADAM SPEAKER: As indicated earlier, Mr Humphries does not wish to proceed.
The Clerk: Assembly Business, Notice No. 4.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Humphries is not proceeding with his notice.
