Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 12 Hansard (5 December) . . Page.. 3655 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):

I congratulate those clubs for that effort. Some, however, have not reached that level of conduct, and I believe this legislation will ensure that they do.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Clause 4.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health, Housing and Community Care) (4.19): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name, which reads as follows:

This amendment suggests a new definition of associated entity and registered party. Some members, I know, will have difficulty with my amendment No 7. Nos 1 to 6 are sensible amendments that do not go to the heart of what I am trying to achieve with amendment No 7. Amendments Nos 1 to 6 are just matters of record keeping, cleaning up, and improving the bill. If members look at my amendments Nos 1 and 2 they will see that I am using definitions from the Electoral Act instead of the words "political party" to make sure that we are consistent with the Electoral Act. I do not think either of my amendments 1 or 2 would worry any member. They are simply a clarification of what we mean by political party in a way that is consistent with the Electoral Act, and will improve the legislation even if my amendment No 7 is lost.

Question put:
