Amendment agreed to.
Amendment 1.73, as amended, agreed to.
Proposed new amendment 1.73A.
MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (5.45): I move amendment No 8 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 3725].
This inserts new amendment 1.73A. It is a technical amendment to correct a typographic error. In the bill, amendments 1.75 and 1.76 were intended to remove provisions 90AA (11) and 90AA (12) of the Magistrates Court Act 1936 introduced by the Sexual and Violent Offences Legislation Amendment Act 2008, but they appeared as amendments to sections 90A (11) and 90A (12). This amendment corrects that error.
Proposed new amendment 1.73A agreed to.
