MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (5.03), in reply: This is one of a number of pieces of legislation that predate self-government where, of course, ACT Acts were Commonwealth ordinances. They were, in effect, subordinate legislation. They were made quickly and easily, they were just tabled in the Federal house and they applied here as an Act. We continued to use them as an Act. Any amendment requires the full process of this house, which can take many months. This is a process to simplify it so that we can keep them up to date. As Mrs Carnell says, this is very sensible, and I am pleased that it has support of the Opposition.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
