Debate resumed from 3 December 1997, on motion by Mr Osborne:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MR KAINE (Minister for Urban Services) (5.43): Mr Speaker, I think it goes without saying that the Government supports this amendment legislation. It was an amendment to our original Bill in September that brought about the present situation. The Government opposed it at the time because we understood the ramifications of what was being put in the amendment. What this amendment does is restore the original Bill to the condition in which the Government put it to the Assembly in the first place. What the amendment in September did was to preclude dealers from participation in arrangements for conducting vehicle inspections for registration purposes. Of course, we considered that that was discriminatory. That is why we opposed the amendments when they were put for debate last August.
