Clauses 27 and 28, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 29.
MS LAWDER (Brindabella) (5.22): I move amendment No 2 circulated in my name [see schedule 4 at page 4285]. This amendment removes strict liability from an offence of failing to return a conservation officer’s identity card. We felt this was an unnecessary strict liability offence.

This is the first of a series of amendments that propose to remove strict liability offence provisions from a number of offences outlined in the bill.
