guide books and is prepared to be meticulously careful in following those steps can quite satisfactorily complete a conveyance. It will be much easier for a non-legally-qualified person to do their own conveyancing. It will also be easier when we are able to complete the process of bringing into being in the ACT a new class of professional, that is, a conveyancer, a person trained in land law and equipped with appropriate professional indemnity insurance to protect the consumer. We hope that at about the time that is coming on stream this system will be in place to facilitate ease and simplification of conveyancing. I thank members for their support of the Bill.

FOOD (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1993

Debate resumed from 23 November 1993, on motion by Mr Berry:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MRS CARNELL (Leader of the Opposition) (8.41): Madam Speaker, this is the third and final stage of a program to review and modernise food legislation in the ACT. This process, as everybody knows, was started a very long time ago. The main purpose of this Bill is to give administrative support to the previous legislation by defining the appointment and powers of health officers for the sampling of food, the analysis of food and associated enforcement powers. The Bill substantially mirrors the operation of the model Food Act endorsed by Health Ministers as early as 1980. It certainly has been a very long time in coming.
