DR FOSKEY (Molonglo) (10.46): I will be opposing this clause.

MR STEFANIAK (Ginninderra) (10.46): I will be opposing this clause. It is consequential, Mr Speaker.

Clause 38 agreed to.

DR FOSKEY (Molonglo) (10.47): I seek leave to move that clauses 39 to 57 be taken together.

Mr Corbell: The government cannot agree to that. I have amendments to clause 50 in particular, and a new clause 52A, so I suggest we proceed to clause 48 and then deal with clause 49 separately.

Clauses 39 to 48, by leave, taken together and agreed to.

Clause 49.

MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (10.49): Again, the government will be opposing this clause. Again, it deals with previous disclosure proposals which the government proposed to omit from the bill.

Clause 49 negatived.

Clause 50.

MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (10.49): I move amendment No 6 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 1774].

This amendment is one of a series of amendments intended to undo the various changes in the bill related to disclosure. However, it also includes an amendment to reduce the disclosure threshold from $1,500 to $1,000, in line with the recently announced commonwealth minimum disclosure threshold.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 50, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 51 agreed to.

Clause 52 agreed to.

Proposed new clause 52A.

MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (10.51): I move amendment No 7 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 1774].
