should not adjourn this one for a short period so that my law officers can speak with Mr Connolly and determine whether he wants to move some other amendments as well.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I think we would need someone else to move that adjournment.
MR KAINE (Chief Minister) (11.39): Mr Deputy Speaker, the Attorney-General raises a very important point. While I understand the motives for Mr Connolly bringing the amendments forward and while we all support them, I doubt whether it would be in the interests of this Assembly or the community to go further and create the kinds of anomalies that the Attorney-General has outlined. I would move that the debate on this matter be adjourned until the question of the anomalies is resolved.
Ms Follett: For how long?
MR KAINE: Until the matter is resolved - that is what I moved - until the matter of the anomalies is resolved.
Debate (on motion by Mr Kaine) adjourned.
SECOND-HAND DEALERS AND COLLECTORS (AMENDMENT) BILL 1990
Debate resumed from 26 April 1990, on motion by Mr Collaery:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition) (11.43): Mr Speaker, again I indicate that we will not be opposing this Bill. It is again a cleaning up exercise, looking at the Second-hand Dealers and Collectors Act and requiring that the dealers be licensed. This Bill is something that we support. I would expect though that, as we are proposing to move amendments dealing with the penalty provisions, the same difficulties would apply to this Bill as would apply to the previous one. Am I correct in that?
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I believe so, Ms Follett.
MS FOLLETT: If that is the case - - -
Mr Collaery: We can agree in principle, I take it, Mr Deputy Speaker.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: Yes, we can certainly do that, Mr Collaery.
Mr Collaery: And we will adjourn it until this afternoon.
MR DEPUTY SPEAKER: I take it the same problem applies as with the other Bill.
