Madam Speaker, these amendments again arise as a consequence, but this time they arise as a consequence of inserting a right of review of a decision to refuse a request to extend the period for lodgment of claims for payment of public funding under this proposed new section. This amendment was recommended by the Standing Committee on Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation, and I commend it to the Assembly. It appears to me to be fair enough to have a right of review if you are being refused something.
Amendments agreed to.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (1.48): I move Government amendment No. 65, which reads:
65. Page 86, line 9, proposed new subsection 207(2), omit "4%", substitute "2%".
This amendment changes proposed new section 207(2) as a result of our decision to reduce the threshold for public funding from 4 per cent to 2 per cent.
Amendment agreed to.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (1.49), by leave: I refer to the pink sheets, Madam Speaker, and I move together Government amendments n., o., and p., which read:
n. Page 86, line 17, proposed new subsection 209(1), omit "party or candidate".
o. Page 86, lines 21 to 23, proposed new subsection 209(2), omit all the words after "payment due", substitute ", to the claimant".
p. Page 86, lines 35 and 36, proposed new subsection 210(2), omit "to the reporting agent of the claimant party or candidate".
These amendments arise as a result of our decision on non-party groups. They simply make the appropriate amendments to each of those parts of the Bill, to reflect the decision that the Assembly has already made.
Amendments agreed to.
MR HUMPHRIES (1.50): Madam Speaker, I indicate formally that the Opposition is not proceeding with amendment w., which was dependent on the success of amendments u. and v. Madam Speaker, I now move the amendment which appears on the dark blue sheet headed "Supplementary Amendment C". It is as follows:
Page 83, line 19, proposed new subsection 203(1), after "reference to expenditure" insert "(other than the payment of a deposit in respect of the nomination of a person as a candidate)".
