LAND (PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT) BILL 1991
Detail Stage
Clause 69
Consideration resumed.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 70 to 80, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
Clause 81
MR JENSEN (4.32): I move:
Page 40, lines 17 to 21, subclause 81(2), omit the subclause, substitute the following subclause:
"(2) The Minister shall not make a declaration under subsection (1) without:
(a) considering the views of the Heritage Council;
(b) obtaining the agreement of any relevant Aboriginal organisation.".
I am at a bit of a loss here, because I did have agreement from the Government to my amendment No. 53 and to my proposed amendment No. 54 which I will move when we consider clause 82. But the Government subsequently provided an amendment which, I think, was circulated yesterday. I was advised late yesterday afternoon that the Government had, in fact, changed its position on this; so we will have to muddle through on this one. Initially it was indicated that there would be a change to amendment No. 54, so a subsequent amendment No. 54A was proposed. But I am now advised - unless I get a contrary note from the Minister - that this one is to be withdrawn.
These amendments deal with restricted information. The definition of "restricted information" in clause 51 of the Bill, which refers specifically to Aboriginal heritage, is quite clear. I think it is important for me to just define for the record what we are talking about in relation to restricted information. If you will just bear with me, I will find the definition. I had it here a moment ago.
