ACTS REVISION (POSITION OF CROWN) BILL 1993

MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General, Minister for Housing and Community Services and Minister for Urban Services) (10.43): Madam Speaker, I present the Acts Revision (Position of Crown) Bill 1993.

Title read by Clerk.

MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, this Bill effects a review of all laws in the ACT to regularise the position of the Crown. It is consequent on the Bill I previously presented. I point out that if the Government adopted Mr Humphries's approach to drafting, which is that one Act can amend only one other Act and we cannot have omnibus Acts, I would be presenting 86 of these Bills and we would be here until after lunch. I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

I ask for leave to have my speech incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Speech incorporated at Appendix 10.

MR CONNOLLY: I present an explanatory memorandum to the Bill.

Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.

REGISTRAR-GENERAL BILL 1993

MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General, Minister for Housing and Community Services and Minister for Urban Services) (10.44): Madam Speaker, I present the Registrar-General Bill 1993.

Title read by Clerk.

MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, this Bill incorporates some six already existing separate offices into one office of the Registrar-General. I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

I ask for leave to have my speech incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Speech incorporated at Appendix 11.

MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, I present the explanatory memorandum.

Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.
