MR RUGENDYKE (5.22): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to move amendments 1 and 2 circulated in my name together.

Leave granted.

MR RUGENDYKE: I move the following amendments to Mr Moore's amendment:

Proposed new paragraph 3H (1) (c), omit the paragraph, substitute the following paragraph:

"(c) by means of-

(i) a single stack dispenser for immediate packages of the product line that complies with subsection (3); or

(ii) if permitted under subsection (1A)-2 stack dispensers for immediate packages of the product line that comply with subsection 93).".

After proposed new subsection 3H (1A), insert the following subsection:

"(1A) A point of sale display of 1 or more product lines at a point of sale may consist of the advertisement or display of the product line (or product lines) by means of 2 stack dispensers for the product line, or 2 stack dispensers for each product line (as the case may be).".

Mr Speaker, these amendments simply allow legitimate business owners to have two facings of their two most fast-moving products on display. I ask members to seriously consider the safety implications in these amendments and give favourable consideration to them.
