Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 11 Hansard (21 October) . . Page.. 3502 ..


Schedule 1

MR RUGENDYKE (5.40): Mr Speaker, I move:

Page 194, item 6, column 3, after "responsibility;" insert "the chief executive;".

This is a consequential amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Schedule, as amended, agreed to.

Schedule 2

MR SPEAKER: I would like to make a statement in relation to the provisions of standing order 180. I note that the Children and Young People Bill contains a dictionary after Schedule 2. I understand that the inclusion of a dictionary in the Bill is a new drafting practice. As such, it is not covered by standing order 180, which sets out the order for considering a Bill in the detail stage. Clearly, the dictionary is part of the Bill. With the agreement of the Assembly, I propose to call on its consideration following consideration of the schedules. This is a practice I will follow in future. In due course we will need to consider appropriate amendments to standing order 180 to cover this and possibly other drafting changes.

Schedule agreed to.

Dictionary

Amendment (by Mr Rugendyke ) agreed to:

Page 198, line 26, after the definition of care plan , insert the following definition:

"carer -see section 4A.".

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education) (5.41): I have some further tidying up amendments in relation to things that are covered in the Interpretation Act. They are for consistency. I seek leave to move government amendments 12 to 19 together.

Leave granted.

MR STEFANIAK: I move:

Page 198, line 27, definitions of chief executive and Chief Magistrate , omit the definitions.

Page 199, line 15, definition of community advocate , omit the definition.

Page 200, line 3, definition of doctor , omit the definition.
