MADAM SPEAKER: Members, we are going to do clauses 63, 64, 65 and 68, as on our sheet. When we get to clause 68 we move, by leave from you, from clause 70 to clause 234; then from clause 234 to clause 244 separately; and then from clause 244 to the end.

Clause 63

MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (5.19): I move amendment No. 18 standing in my name, which reads as follows:

18. Page 31, line 35, paragraph (4)(e), omit "under", substitute "for the purposes of".

The effect of that amendment is simply to clarify a point that has been identified by the Scrutiny of Bills Committee. They believed that it was not clear whether the relevant standard was being made under clause 91 or under clause 251. It is a technical amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 64

MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (5.19), by leave: I move together amendments Nos 19 and 20, which have been circulated in my name. They read:

19. Page 32, lines 3 to 6, subclause (1), omit all words after "Australian Capital Territory Electricity and Water Authority", substitute "and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions as if a reference in those provisions to the Commissioner were a reference to the Authority or to the Director of Public Prosecutions respectively".

20. Page 32, lines 8 and 9, subclause (2), omit "Legal Aid Commission (A.C.T.)", substitute "Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions".

These are consequential amendments following the Assembly's decision to remove the Legal Aid Commission from the application of the Bill and to make the Director of Public Prosecutions an autonomous instrumentality. We need to amend clause 64 to adjust references to those two bodies.

Amendments agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.
