Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 14 Hansard (10 December) . . Page.. 4883 ..

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Yes. We know that it has been circulated in your name, but we want the amendment.

Mr Kaine: Madam Deputy Speaker, just for clarification: I presume that Mr Osborne includes his more recent amendment to his original Bill, which amends clause 2.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Osborne, would you please clarify that.

MR OSBORNE: Yes, that is right, Mr Kaine. I move:

Page 1, line 6, clause 2, omit the clause, substitute the following clause:

"Commencement

2. This Act commences on the day on which it is notified in the Gazette.".

MR KAINE (Minister for Urban Services) (5.56): Thank you for that clarification, Mr Osborne. Madam Deputy Speaker, as I indicated in the in-principle debate, the Government supports Mr Osborne's amendments, including his new amendment to clause 2, which takes out a bit of retrospectivity that would have been in his original Bill and which makes this new Bill, when passed, effective as from the date on which it is notified in the Gazette.

MR WHITECROSS (5.57): Madam Deputy Speaker, the Opposition will be supporting this amendment. It takes out the retrospectivity, which would only ever have been necessary if the Government had appointed somebody covered by the Act, and obviously the Government has not.

Amendment agreed to.

MR WHITECROSS (5.58): Madam Deputy Speaker, I move the amendment circulated in my name.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Are you seeking leave to move the amendments together?

MR WHITECROSS: I am advised that it is effectively one amendment.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Proceed, Mr Whitecross.

MR WHITECROSS: I move:

Page 1, line 23, add the following new clauses to the Bill:

"Registration of motor vehicles and trailers

3A. Section 14(2) of the Principal Act is amended by omitting `that is more than 6 years old,'.
