the different notice periods that can be provided with cause. Accordingly, I will move that the question be divided into 18A to D and 18E. I move:

That the question be divided.

MR PARTON (Brindabella) (4.10): The Canberra Liberals will be supporting 18E. Let me make it clear what we are supporting here. If the lessor serves a notice to vacate on the grounds of intention to or belief that they or a family member are moving in or selling, we think it is a fair thing that they should provide a statutory declaration about that intention or belief. Sometimes your common sense astounds me, Ms Le Couteur.

But we do agree with the Attorney-General with regard to the changes outlined in 18A, B, C and D that more work is required there. We will look forward to voting on these individually as they come up.

Ordered that the question be divided.

Proposed new clauses 18A to 18D negatived.

Proposed new clause 18E agreed to.

Clause 19.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (4.12): Madam Deputy Speaker, I seek your guidance. I believe that clause 19 has become redundant because it was needed for my proposed new clause 18D, which the Assembly did not vote for. The same goes for my amendment 8.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: There is a clause 18. But now your amendment 7 is redundant and you are not moving it?

MS LE COUTEUR: It is my belief that that is the situation. The same goes for my amendment 8, I think you will unfortunately find.

MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: We will take them one at a time, to make sure we get it right.

Clause 19 agreed to.

Clause 20 agreed to.

Clause 21 agreed to.

Title agreed to.

Question put:

That this bill, as amended, be agreed to.
