PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Draft Variation to the Territory Plan - Heritage Places Register
MR BERRY (Manager of Government Business) (5.03): I present report No. 30 of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure on the draft variation to the Territory Plan relating to the Heritage Places Register, together with a copy of extracts from the minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Friday, 4 November 1994, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. Madam Speaker, I move:
That the report be noted.
In September, the Minister, Mr Wood, referred this draft variation and papers to the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Committee. They were subsequently considered by the committee. The committee recommended as follows:
The Committee endorses the Variation to the Territory Plan relating to the Heritage Places Register with the following addition: that items 6 and 7 of the draft Variation dealing with Aboriginal Places PH12 and PH13 be strengthened by inserting the word 'will' in lieu of 'should' in sub-point (iii) of the Specific Requirements applying to each item (it being noted that sub-point (iii) is to be included in both items).
The purpose of this change, Madam Speaker, is to ensure that nobody could be left in any doubt about consultation with the Aboriginal community and, in particular, the Ngunnawal community.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
CRIMES (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 3) 1994
Debate resumed from 13 October 1994, on motion by Mr Connolly:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MR HUMPHRIES (5.05): Madam Speaker, I rise to indicate the support of the Liberal Party for this Bill before the Assembly today, coming, as it does, in the wake of a Bill introduced last year by the Liberal Party which, in my view, replicates many of the provisions of this legislation, at least as far as one aspect of it is concerned. This legislation has been a long time in coming, in one sense. I note from the Minister's presentation speech that in 1975 there was a report by the Australian Law Reform Commission on criminal investigation, which, I gather, has, in large part, shaped the final outcome of this process and this legislation. Certainly, it has had an influence on the current Commonwealth legislation, which has now been passed by the Federal Parliament and which will become operative on 1 December this year. It is for that reason that we are considering this Bill today.
