performing really the best outcome for our community? Reflect on that question a little bit. It is not a comfortable one to have to think about.

This is a tricky space. The clubs do play a part—I will say it time and again, and I will always say it—and we want the clubs to be part of our community. We just do not want them to be part of our community in this way, and that is the job we need to do over time.

It being 45 minutes after the commencement of crossbench executive members’ business, the debate was interrupted in accordance with standing order 77. Ordered that the time allotted to crossbench executive members’ business be extended by 30 minutes.

MR RATTENBURY: I will wrap up quickly. I commend my motion to the Assembly today. It has a very deliberate purpose—to provide a very targeted response to a particular problem in our community. I think we can do that in a way that addresses the outcome we are after whilst continuing an orderly transition as our clubs seek to diversify their revenue base.

With respect to the Attorney-General’s amendment, I acknowledge the additional “notes” that the attorney has put in. I welcome the information he has provided and I have no disagreement with any of it. When it comes to the putting of the question, I will ask, under standing order 133, that the question be divided. I ask that we take paragraphs (1) to (3) of Mr Ramsay’s motion together, and that paragraph (4)—the “calls on” paragraph—be put as a separate question.

Ordered that the question be divided.

Paragraphs (1) to (3) agreed to.

Question put:

That paragraph (4) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Paragraph (4) agreed to.

Original question, as amended, resolved in the affirmative.
