In the preparation of the amendments to the Liquor Act contained in the Liquor (Amendment) Bill now before us, a number of minor technical amendments required as a result of the movement of the offence provisions relating to minors, repeal of the Business Franchise (Liquor) Act 1993, and the rearrangement of the Liquor Licensing Board's disciplinary powers were inadvertently overlooked. The government amendments address each of these issues by including the necessary changes in the schedule containing the further amendments in clause 38 of the Bill. They are basically changes in reference to particular clause or section numbers in the legislation, and I apologise for that oversight. I table an explanatory memorandum in relation to those amendments.

Amendments agreed to.

Bill, as a whole, as amended, agreed to.

SUBORDINATE LAWS (AMENDMENT) BILL 1999

Debate resumed from 1 July 1999, on motion by Mr Humphries:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (4.38): Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill was presented by the Attorney-General with the aim of reducing the time for disallowing subordinate legislation from 15 sitting days to six sitting days. That is the simple structure proposed by the Attorney. The Labor Party supports the underlying objective of this Bill, namely, to reduce the potential time involved in the subordinate laws process.
