FOOD BILL 1992

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

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

MRS CARNELL (8.01): The Liberal Party will be supporting the Food Bill 1992, although I must say that the inordinately long time taken in getting the legislation to the Assembly is a matter of disappointment and concern. I am sure that it is also a matter of disappointment and concern to Mr Humphries, who had similar problems. On the other hand, I commend the Government for the staged manner of its introduction. It was certainly better than doing nothing. The Government obviously realised that it would take even longer to draft the entire legislation in one package. I agree that it would not be good to get bogged down in such a process. Further time delays would be unacceptable to everybody.
