Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 13 Hansard (9 December) . . Page.. 4132 ..


MR STANHOPE (continuing):

of the Bill. It is to put beyond doubt that the way in which determinations and instruments have been gazetted is in accordance with the Subordinate Laws Act.

There would be significant consequences if it were found that the way that matters have been processed is not appropriate. So, in the short timeframe that we have had on this matter, we have accepted the assurances that we have received that this Bill will put beyond doubt what had been regarded as appropriate practice.

I will conclude by saying that the Labor Party, in agreeing to the Government's request for urgent consideration of the Bill, is not to be taken to be necessarily agreeing with the substance of the matters potentially affected by this Bill or for our agreement to be regarded as a precedent in any way or an endorsement in any way of any action or matter associated with this.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.

Bill agreed to.
