Motion (by Mr Stefaniak), by leave, agreed to:

That clause 1 be reconsidered.

Clause 1

MR STEFANIAK (6.47): I move:

Page 1, line 5, omit "Human Rights and Equal Opportunity", substitute "Discrimination".

I initially moved that the name of the Bill be the Discrimination Bill. I think my amendment to that effect is still floating about. In other words, the Act is going to be called the Discrimination Act. That is what the amendment is all about. We have already made consequential amendments to clauses within the Bill to reflect that. I reiterate the points I made in my speech on this topic - I have forgotten when it was - as to why the Act should be called the Discrimination Act. We have had further argument today in relation to why the Bill is more properly referred to as the Discrimination Bill than as the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Bill, and I now encourage members to vote on it.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

ADJOURNMENT

Motion (by Mr Berry) agreed to:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

Assembly adjourned at 6.52 pm until Tuesday, 3 December 1991, at 10.30 am
