Government comes up with a better phrase. It is, I think, essential that that key term be defined in the definition section of the Act.

MR MOORE (12.18): Perhaps, Mr Speaker, I should have a second go. While Mr Connolly was speaking I had a chance to look at regulation 3(1). It says:

The amount of the betterment charge payable in respect of variation ...

It starts with the word that we are trying to define. Even the most basic logic indicates that you cannot use the word that you are trying to define in the definition clause.

Question put:

That the amendment (Mr Moore's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

 AYES, 6  NOES, 9 

 Mr Berry Mr Collaery

 Mr Connolly Mr Duby

 Ms Follett Mr Humphries

 Mrs Grassby Mr Jensen

 Mr Moore Mr Kaine

 Mr Stevenson Ms Maher

  Mrs Nolan

  Mr Prowse

  Mr Stefaniak

Question so resolved in the negative.

Debate interrupted.

RINGING OF BELLS

MR SPEAKER: I would like to advise, with respect to the ringing of the bells, that it seems that the seven minutes period is still not sufficient. Therefore, seven minutes before we assemble, I intend to have the bells rung for 30 seconds. The continuous bells will commence only four minutes before we assemble. That gives us a little bit of warning without having the bells ringing constantly for seven minutes.

Sitting suspended from 12.25 to 2.30 pm
