Detail Stage

MR BERRY (Deputy Chief Minister) (8.29): I move:

That so much of standing and temporary orders be suspended as would prevent the consideration of the Electoral Bill 1992 during the detail stage proceeding in the following order:

(a) Clauses 1 and 2 together

(b) Clauses 3 to 8, 18, 19, 29, 32, 36, 37, 39 to 44, and 46 to 48, together

(d) Clause 11

(e) Clause 16

(f) Clause 20

(g) Clause 22

(h) Clause 26

(i) Clause 30

(j) Clause 33

(k) Clause 34

(l) Clause 45

(m) Remainder of the Bill, as a whole.

By way of a short explanation, Madam Speaker, what this rather complicated proposal sets out to do is to smooth the passage of the Bill through the detail stage. I am sure that members, now having studied the circulated motion, fully understand the ramifications.

Question resolved in the affirmative, with the concurrence of an absolute majority.

Clauses 1 and 2 agreed to.

Clauses 3 to 8, 18, 19, 29, 32, 36, 37, 39 to 44, and 46 to 48

MR HUMPHRIES (8.31): Madam Speaker, I seek leave to move the amendments Nos 3 to 8, 15 to 24, 29, 32 to 35, 40 to 72 and 75 to 77, circulated in my name, together.

Leave granted.

MR HUMPHRIES: Madam Speaker, I move:

Clause 3, page 2, line 6, before the definition of "Commission" insert the following definition:

"'augmented Commission', in relation to a redistribution, means the augmented Commission established by section 39A for the purposes of the redistribution;".

Clause 3, page 2, line 7, definition of "Commission", before "Commission" (first occurring) insert "Electoral".

Subclause 6(1), page 2, line 28, before "Commission" insert "Electoral".

Subclause 6(2), page 3, lines 2 and 3, before "Commission" (wherever occurring) insert "Electoral".
