CONSUMER CREDIT BILL 1994
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health) (10.34): Madam Speaker, I present the Consumer Credit Bill 1994.
Title read by Clerk.
MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
I seek leave to have a fairly long speech incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
Speech incorporated at Appendix 3.
MR CONNOLLY: I present the explanatory memorandum to the Bill.
Debate (on motion by Mrs Carnell) adjourned.
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION (HARE-CLARK)
ENTRENCHMENT BILL 1994
Suspension of Standing and Temporary Orders
MR HUMPHRIES (10.35): Madam Speaker, I move:
That so much of the standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent order of the day No. 1, private members business, relating to the Proportional Representation (Hare-Clark) Entrenchment Bill 1994, being called on forthwith.
The Proportional Representation (Hare-Clark) Entrenchment Bill is a fairly important piece of legislation which I think members of the Assembly around the chamber have said needs to be dealt with today. Having said that, I think it is also important for us to acknowledge that the issue is important enough to be dealt with this morning. I realise that the Government has proposed amendments, and I do not know whether they are ready at this stage to proceed with those amendments; but, Madam Speaker, it is my view that the issue is important enough to be dealt with as quickly as possible. I think that starting to deal with this issue after the MPI this afternoon, at about 5 or 6 o'clock, would be rather too late. It is my belief that the Assembly should proceed to deal with this matter, important as it is, right now.
