MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (3.47), in reply: Mr Speaker, I wish to close the debate on this motion that the papers be noted. I wish to add one small part to my speech. So rattled was I by the incredibly churlish response from the Leader of the Opposition that I omitted to mention - - -

Ms Follett: You spoke before I did.

MR COLLAERY: The Leader of the Opposition was interjecting as I spoke. I omitted to mention that this Bill does not include age discrimination at this stage simply because there are some profound complexities about that, particularly in the areas of superannuation and access to services that also come from the Commonwealth. My Law Office is well advanced in preparing and dealing with that issue, and we have examined the first such novel legislation in South Australia. I believe that our provision for age discrimination will catch up with this Bill - it is my hope in that regard - and form part of the final Bill.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
