MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (6.08): Madam Speaker, I move Government amendment No. 86, circulated in my name, which reads:
86. Page 146, line 19, proposed new Schedule 3, subclause 9(2), add at the end of the subclause "in which case the removal shall not be taken to be an official error".
The Schedule is to be amended to clarify the intent of clause 9, which provides that, where a person claiming to vote is not on the electoral roll, the person's vote will be admitted to the count if the person's name was removed from the roll because of an official error. This amendment makes it clear that a name removed from the roll prior to the previous election is not to be taken to be removed as a result of official error.
Amendment agreed to.
MR HUMPHRIES (6.09), by leave: Madam Speaker, I move together amendments a. and b. on the orange sheets, headed "Supplementary Amendments B". The amendments are as follows:
a. Page 148, lines 8 to 16, proposed new Schedule 4, subclause 1(1) (definition of "transfer value", paragraph (a)), omit the paragraph, substitute the following paragraph:
"(a) in relation to the allotment of votes from the surplus of a successful candidate - in the case of ballot papers that specify a next available preference, subject to subclause (1A), the value calculated as follows:
S
CP
where -
S is the surplus; and
CP is the number of ballot papers counted for the candidate at the count at which he or she became successful and which specify a next available preference; or".
b. Page 148, line 23, proposed new Schedule 4, clause 1, after proposed new subclause (1) insert the following subclause:
"(1A) Where, but for this subclause, the transfer value of a ballot paper calculated in accordance with paragraph (a) of the definition of 'transfer value' would be greater than the transfer value of the ballot paper when counted for the successful candidate, the transfer value of that ballot paper is the last-mentioned transfer value.".
