Clause 3 of the Workers' Compensation (Consequential Amendments) Bill 1991 provides that the Acts specified in the schedule are amended as set out in the schedule. The Workmen's Compensation Supplementation Fund Act 1980 is one of the Acts specified in the schedule. The Workmen's Compensation Supplementation Fund Act is further amended to omit the reference to section 18 of the Workmen's Compensation Act and substitute a reference to section 17B of the Compensation Act. Mr Speaker, this amendment is in response to a comment made by the Legislative Assembly's Standing Committee on the Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation in its report No. 21 of 1991, again under the watchful eye of Professor Whalan. The committee pointed out that this cross-reference was incorrect.

The Workmen's Compensation Supplementation Fund Act is further amended to omit references to the Commonwealth Companies Act and substitute references to the equivalent provisions of the new corporations law. Mr Speaker, I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum.
