MAGISTRATES COURT (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1993
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General, Minister for Housing and Community Services and Minister for Urban Services) (10.53): Madam Speaker, I present the Magistrates Court (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1993.
Title read by Clerk.
MR CONNOLLY: I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
The Magistrates Court (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1993 will amend the Magistrates Court Act 1930 as a consequence of the amendments made by the Motor Traffic (Amendment) Bill 1993 to the fine default procedures in the Motor Traffic Act 1936. The Motor Traffic (Amendment) Bill 1993 will remove the current sanction for default of payment of a parking or traffic infringement notice, that is, the cancellation of the defaulter's driving licence or motor vehicle registration. Under that Bill, the sanction in future will be the suspension of a driving licence or registration. The Magistrates Court (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1993 will amend the Magistrates Court Act 1930 to remove the references to the cancellation of a driving licence or registration from the relevant provisions and to substitute references to the suspension of a driving licence or registration. Madam Speaker, I present the explanatory memorandum for the Bill.
Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.
TRAFFIC (AMENDMENT) BILL 1993
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General, Minister for Housing and Community Services and Minister for Urban Services) (10.55): Madam Speaker I present the Traffic (Amendment) Bill 1993.
Title read by Clerk.
MR CONNOLLY: I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
The Traffic (Amendment) Bill 1993 will amend the Traffic Act 1937 as a consequence of the amendments made by the Motor Traffic (Amendment) Bill 1993. The Traffic (Amendment) Bill will remove the isolated traffic infringement notice penalty contained in section 6D of the Traffic Act and facilitate the penalty's transfer into regulations under the Motor Traffic Act 1936. The TIN penalty referred to in section 6D relates to the compulsory wearing of a bicycle helmet. The inclusion of this TIN penalty in the regulations will enable changes to be made more cost-effectively and ensure that all TIN penalties are located together. The amendments will also remove sexist language from the Traffic Act 1937. I present the explanatory memorandum for the Bill.
Debate (on motion by Mr De Domenico) adjourned.
