MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General, Minister for Housing and Community Services and Minister for Urban Services) (5.25): "Corresponding law" is defined as an ozone related law in another State; so convictions, or indeed civil penalties, under consumer protection legislation, such as a record of poor workmanship, would be relevant.
Amendments agreed to.

Clauses 15 to 18, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

Amendment agreed to.

MR WOOD (Minister for Education and the Arts and Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning) (5.27), by leave: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I move:

Clause 33 -
Page 15, line 2, subparagraph 33(2)(b), omit "suspects", substitute "believes".
Page 15, line 15, paragraph 33(2)(b), omit "(1)", substitute "(2)".
