Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Clauses 105 to 107 agreed to.

Clause 108

MR STEVENSON (4.59): I move my amendment No. 67 in the following terms:

Page 42, line 34, subclause (2), omit "7", substitute "3".

The clause says that a commissioner may be appointed for a term of up to seven years. I believe that it is more reasonable that the commissioner be appointed for a maximum term of three years, as members of this Assembly are. I thus move that "7" be removed and replaced by "3".

MR HUMPHRIES (5.00): Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Mr Stefaniak has circulated an amendment which I would seek leave to move.

Leave granted.

MR HUMPHRIES: I move:

Page 42, line 31, subclause (1), omit "Human Rights", substitute "Discrimination".

Of course, we have already resolved to substitute "Discrimination" for "Human Rights" elsewhere in the Bill. No doubt, the title will follow suit. I think it would be appropriate to ensure that we are consistent. Therefore, this clause should also be amended to "Discrimination" rather than "Human Rights".
