Prime Minister has recently made a lot of mileage out of his One Nation statement, but it is now mooted that his Government will move away from one of the agreements which guarantees a certain level of assistance for low income earners for one of life's basic needs - shelter. I do not see how the aims and objectives of the One Nation statement are served by walking away from responsibility for this important program.

COMMONWEALTH-STATE HOUSING AGREEMENT

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

That this Assembly calls on the Federal Government to block any proposals to dismantle the Commonwealth-State Housing Agreement, unless an alternative agreement is in place.

MRS GRASSBY: I present report No. 8 of 1992 of the Standing Committee on Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation and I seek leave to make a brief statement on the report.

Leave granted.

MRS GRASSBY: Report No. 8, which I have just tabled, details the committee's comments on the Rates and Land Tax Amendment Bill 1992, and I commend the report to the Assembly.

PROTECTION ORDERS (RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS) BILL 1992

[COGNATE BILL:

PROTECTION ORDERS (RECIPROCAL ARRANGEMENTS)
(CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS) BILL 1992]

Debate resumed from 18 June 1992, on motion by Mr Connolly:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MADAM SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate this order of the day concurrently with the Protection Orders (Reciprocal Arrangements) (Consequential Amendments) Bill 1992? There being no objection, that course will be followed.

MR HUMPHRIES (4.00): In speaking to both of these Bills which are being debated cognately, I express my regret, first of all, that the Assembly is returning to the bullet train legislation process that we were engaged in the other day.

Ms Follett: Don't panic.
