Detail Stage

Bill, by leave, taken as a whole

MR WOOD (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (8.08), by leave: Madam Speaker, I move:

Clause 4, page 2, lines 7 and 8, omit "and an associated institution", substitute "and the Australian International Hotel School".

Paragraph 7(a), page 3, line 32, omit "and".

Paragraph 7(b), page 4, line 4, add "and".

Clause 7, page 4, line 4, add the following paragraph:

"(c) by omitting from subsection (4) '15' and substituting '5'.".

Clause 8, page 5, line 29, proposed new subsection 7B(5), omit "15", substitute "5".

Clause 22, page 18, line 18, after paragraph 22(b) insert the following paragraphs:

"(ba) by omitting from subsection (2) 'Institute's powers' and substituting 'powers of an Institution';

(bb) by omitting from subsection (2) 'Institute' and substituting 'Institution';".

I present an additional explanatory memorandum.

MS SZUTY (8.08): I wish to speak briefly to the major amendments. The first amendment recommends a change to the long title of the Bill, so that it would not be the Canberra Institute of Technology and an Associated Institution Act; it would be the Canberra Institute of Technology and the Australian International Hotel School Act. I think that is a very sensible change so that anybody who is interested in the Australian International Hotel School will know exactly what the legislation is about.

Amendments Nos 2 and 3 are largely editorial. Amendment No. 4 amends the amount of time the Minister for Education and Training has in which to table in this Assembly any directive he gives to the Australian International Hotel School. The legislation is currently in line with the Canberra Institute of Technology Act, where there is a 15-sitting day period in which the Minister for Education and Training can table a directive.
