Clause 73
MS ELLIS (4.27): I move:
Page 35, line 6, omit "the provision of information", substitute "contact".
This amendment seeks to omit the words "the provision of information" and substitute the one word "contact". This is not an amendment related to the Social Policy Committee's report but is a housekeeping amendment that was to go through originally.
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General, Minister for Housing and Community Services and Minister for Urban Services) (4.27): Madam Speaker, could I just add that this was one of the matters picked up by the Scrutiny of Bills Committee. It was a typo that Professor Whalan picked up, as he always does.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 74 to 77, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
Clause 78
MS ELLIS (4.28): I move:
Page 37, subclause (3), line 20, before "request" insert "written".
This amendment changes the emphasis from a request to a written request, when people wish to change an intent that is outlined in subclause 78(3).
MS SZUTY (4.28): This amendment clarifies the provisions of this clause by insisting that requests to the director to amend or cancel the entry of a person in the adoption information register be made in writing. When the register is established, information is already provided to the director in writing. Amendments and cancellations to the register should therefore also be requested in writing. This will prevent possible false representations, which may have been made by telephone, or in particular circumstances in person, to the people who are responsible for keeping the adoption information register.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 79 to 108, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
