The amendment would also permit door-to-door traders to trade on weekdays between 9.00 am and 8.00 pm throughout the year. I advise that the 8.00 pm line is taken to achieve consistency with daylight-saving arrangements. The third amendment would allow the provisions of the Interpretation Act to apply to notices of rescission of contracts sent by post.
MR SPEAKER: Mr Collaery, I think you have jumped the gun on us a little bit there, in that we were looking at clauses 1 and 2. You have now gone to clause 3. As you have made your statement, is it your wish to take all your amendments together?
MR COLLAERY: Yes, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: In that case I will come back to clauses 1 and 2.
MR COLLAERY: I am just following my script, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: All right. In that case then, seeing that you are moving your amendments now, is it the wish of the Assembly to take the whole of the Bill together?
Mr Stevenson: No.
MR SPEAKER: We have a "No".
Clauses 1 and 2, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
Clause 3
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (12.52): I merely record my earlier comments, and move government amendment No. 1, namely:
Page 2, lines 17 and 18, definition of "daylight saving period", omit the definition.
I present the explanatory memorandum for the amendments.
MR STEVENSON (12.52): Mr Collaery might be good enough to answer a couple of questions I have. The clause headed "Interpretation" talks of contracts. I think we all know that a contract can be a written contract or a verbal contract. The first question is: Where in this legislation is it indicated that the contract is written; or does it include verbal contracts? Also, under the definition of "supplier" it says:
"supplier", in relation to a contract or proposed contract for the supply of goods or services, means the person by whom the goods or services are, or are to be, supplied under the contract or proposed contract.
