MR DE DOMENICO (11.13): Madam Speaker, I will be quick, because I think Mr Kaine said it as eloquently as anybody else I heard speak on the topic. My amendments make eminent sense. I thank the Independents for seeing how sensible the amendments are. I look forward to the proposal working very well, as it has in the past with the appointment of the electoral commissioner. I feel strongly that it will work very well in the future.
Amendments agreed to.
MR BERRY (Minister for Health, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (11.13): Madam Speaker, I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum and move:
Page 8, lines 25 to 27, proposed subclause 5Y(1), omit all the words after "Officer" (last occurring).
My amendment to clause 6 of the Betting (Totalizator Administration) (Amendment) Bill 1993 gives effect to the concerns raised by the Scrutiny of Bills Committee in report No. 9. It is the intention to rely on the provisions of the Interpretation Act relating to acting appointments. The Interpretation Act lays down the conditions in relation to the appointment of persons to act in a position. The amendment calls for the omission of all words after "Officer", last occurring.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.

MR BERRY (Minister for Health, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (11.16): Madam Speaker, I seek leave to move two amendments together.
