Question so resolved in the negative.
MR KAINE (11.49): I foreshadowed that I would move an amendment to Mr Humphries' amendment. I move:
Omit the words "the Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Services", substitute "the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety".
Mr Speaker, I do not think there is much merit in referring this matter back to the same committee where the events occurred. Different people, without the direct background that the members of the urban services committee have, are needed to take on this matter. If it is going to be looked at at all it can be looked at objectively by people who have not been previously involved. There is some justification for sending it to the justice committee for that purpose.
