Stefaniak's amendments he will take the same position in respect of the Government's, and he will vote them down too for the same reason.
MR SPEAKER: That is not a point of order, Mr Kaine.
MR WOOD (11.49): I am confident that the explanation Mr Whalan has given will satisfy Mr Stefaniak and other members in the Assembly that the interests both of the employers and of the employees have been duly considered and are protected by this clause. In commenting on that, I want to add very briefly to what Mr Moore said and to respond to comments by Mr Humphries. I believe that what I do today will be generally consistent with this report. I think there was a minor criticism, that we were going beyond the recommendations made by the committee. But I perused this blue sheet under Mr Stefaniak's name and, if Mr Humphries has a criticism, I think it might properly be made of Mr Stefaniak.
MR JENSEN (11.50): Mr Speaker, I rise to speak very briefly on this particular matter. I have listened with interest to the explanation given by the Minister and I have also noted the support given to the matter by Mr Wood. Not being a member of that particular committee but having served on committees with Mr Wood in the past, I have considerable respect and admiration for his objectivity in these sorts of matters. If Mr Wood is satisfied with the explanation given by the Minister in this particular matter, without having been present in those committee deliberations myself I still think it appropriate at this stage that the Rally does not support the amendment proposed by Mr Stefaniak.
Amendment negatived.
Clause agreed to.
Clause 7 agreed to.
Clause 8 (Service of documents etc. on employers).
MR STEFANIAK (11.52): Again, I have had discussions with the legislative counsel and I am satisfied that this amendment is not needed, Mr Speaker. Accordingly, I seek leave to withdraw it.
Leave granted.
Clause agreed to.
Clauses 9 to 11, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 12 (Annual report)
MR STEFANIAK (11.53): As chairman of the committee, I move the following amendment:
