Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 2 Hansard (27 February) . . Page.. 319 ..

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (11:57): I thank members for their comments. There will be some simple amendments here to clause 4 and schedule 2 simply to correct the date on which section 11 of the Compensation (Fatal Injuries) Act of 1968 was inserted by the Compensation (Fatal Injuries) (Amendment) Act of 1991. The date in the bill is wrong. We will move an amendment to correct the commencement date of the law. The date should be 6 December 1991 rather than 10 May 1991. I thank members for their comments.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Detail stage

Bill, by leave, taken as a whole.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (11:58): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to move together the two amendments circulated in my name.

Leave granted.

MR STEFANIAK: Mr Speaker, I move the two amendments circulated in my name in relation to that incorrect date. [see schedule 1 at page 347]. As I have already indicated, Mr Speaker, the date mentioned was incorrect. The correct date is in fact 6 December 1991. This corrects that error.

MR SPEAKER: Would you mind formally presenting the explanatory memorandum?

MR STEFANIAK: Mr Speaker, I formally present the explanatory memorandum.

Amendments agreed to.

Bill as a whole, as amended, agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Statute Law Amendment Bill 2000 (No 2)

Debate resumed from 30 November 2000, on motion by Mr Humphries:

That this bill be agreed to in principle.

MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (11:59): Mr Speaker, the Attorney-General introduced this bill on 30 November 2000. As with similar previous bills, there are no new policy initiatives in this bill which makes quite a number of minor structural or technical amendments to an array of acts and regulations and repeals redundant or obsolete acts and regulations. I do note, Mr Speaker, that the scrutiny of bills committee had no comment on this bill other than to say that this is a bill for an act to make technical and housekeeping amendments to a number of the laws of the territory.
