protected for that appropriate duration, which I believe is two days.
I believe, therefore, in the circumstances it does not pose a risk to ACT purchasers that there is not in the ACT the facility for the printing out of certificates for ACT residents. I think that the scheme is an excellent one. I hope it does have a dramatic impact, for example, on the rate of car theft that occurs in the ACT. I am told that there is a bit of a racket that goes on whereby people in the ACT are more likely to have their cars stolen because of the possibility of selling them off in places like New South Wales in the knowledge that the scheme applicable in New South Wales does not apply to ACT cars. I believe that, if this scheme is successful in reducing the impact on ACT residents of the car theft operators, we will certainly have achieved a very important aim as far as the ACT citizen is concerned. I hope that it will contribute to the ACT going up the ladder a little bit in terms of consumer protection and will help us earn a higher mark in the area of consumer protection than was the case last year.
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (5.34), in reply: I thank members for their considered comments, in particular Mr Connolly's erudite speech. I believe it is probably his maiden speech on a Bill. It was very interesting, and I am glad he has broken that new dam here of Latin maxims. Let them all come forth in future now. I commend the Bill to the house. I take note of all comments made and endorse them.
