Detail Stage
Bill, by leave, taken as a whole
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (4.57): Madam Speaker, I seek leave to move Government amendments Nos 1 and 2 together.
Leave granted.
MR CONNOLLY: I move:
Schedule -
Page 2, amendment of Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1989, proposed amendment of section 52 (penalty provision), omit the proposed amendment, substitute the following amendment:
"Section 52 (penalty provision) -
Omit '$5,000', substitute '50 penalty units'.".
Page 4, amendment of Air Pollution Act 1984, proposed new subparagraphs 49(1)(d)(i) and (ii), omit the subparagraphs, substitute the following subparagraphs:
"(i) if the offender is a natural person - 10 penalty units; or
(ii) if the offender is a body corporate - 50 penalty units.".
Madam Speaker, as there are some 66 of these amendments and they are extremely bitty, I do not intend to go through a speech that would win an academy award in respect of each point. I note that Mr Humphries said that the Opposition has had a look at them and is happy with them, as have the Independents.
Mr De Domenico: We only said "Logies". Do not get your hopes up too high.
MR CONNOLLY: I am sorry; I was getting carried away.
Amendments agreed to.
