read aloud a statement of consumers' rights to rescind contracts at the time a contract is made.
Mr Deputy Speaker, I believe that the Government should be congratulated on this measure. It is a concrete demonstration of the Alliance Government's commitment in the consumer affairs field and, as I have said, it is the first element of a package of new and updated laws in this area which the Government plans to introduce. New uniform trade measurement legislation dealing with the weight and packaging of goods and fair trading legislation are under development in my Law Office and the Consumer Affairs Bureau at this moment. The Alliance Government is determined to see that the citizens and consumers of the ACT obtain the benefit of these laws as soon as possible.
Mr Deputy Speaker, I commend this Bill to the Assembly. I present the explanatory memorandum to this Bill.
