Mr Wood: I want to see that amendment, please.
MR SPEAKER: Certainly.
MR KAINE: Mr Speaker, perhaps I may speak to that amendment while it is being copied. I think that in a situation such as this it is adequate for the Government simply to inform the Assembly that it has taken this action. The committee, if it is on top of what has been going on, will be well aware of what it is all about. The committee can take on a reference if it so chooses, and it has the opportunity then to pick up this particular point and look at it if it believes that it is necessary. I do not think that it is useful to require the authority or the Government to inform an Assembly committee every time it changes its mind on something. Informing the Assembly itself ought to be sufficient.
MR JENSEN (6.08): The Rally accepts that proposal, Mr Speaker.
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (6.08): Mr Speaker, I have not seen the form of words that Mr Kaine has moved. If I get the first copy of that amendment I may be able to respond.
MR KAINE (Leader of the Opposition) (6.08): The words are simply "advise the Legislative Assembly". It does not seek the submission of draft variations and background papers.
MR WOOD (Minister for Education and the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (6.08): Okay, that is fine. The Government will accept Mr Kaine's amendment.
Amendment (Mr Kaine's) agreed to.
Amendments (Mr Jensen's), as amended, agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 28
MR JENSEN (6.09), by leave: I move:
(1) Page 15, line 13, omit "and".
(2) Page 15, line 14, after paragraph 28(1)(e) add the following word and paragraph:
"and, (f) a copy of any report or comments made by Committee of the Legislative Assembly.".
The first amendment is to paragraph 28(1)(d). The second requires a copy of any report or comments made by a committee of the Legislative Assembly to be included in the documentation that is laid before the Legislative Assembly.
