New clause -

Clause 14, page 4, line 30, after clause 13, add the following new clause:

Appeals

 "14. Section 40AA of the Principal Act is amended -

 (a) by inserting in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) "keeper's" before "licence"; and

 (b) by adding at the end the following paragraphs:

"(d) granting a dangerous dog licence under section 18L subject to conditions;

(e) refusing to grant a dangerous dog licence under section 18L;

(f) seizing a dangerous dog under subsection 18M(2);

(g) ordering a dangerous dog to be destroyed under subsection 18N(1);

(h) cancelling a dangerous dog licence under subsection 18U(1).".

I bring forward these amendments to ensure that the intent of Mr Westende's amendments is supported. In some cases the changes are minor grammatical adjustments. Other changes are procedural and are designed to improve the administration of Mr Westende's changes. Mr Westende has been through the detail, and there is nothing more to add. I table the supplementary explanatory memorandum.

Amendments agreed to.

Bill, as a whole, as amended, agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

SCHOOL BASED POSITIONS

MS SZUTY (11.15): I move:

That this Assembly instructs the Minister for Education and Training to maintain all school based positions targeted in the 1993-94 Budget.

As has been widely reported, my colleague Mr Moore and I feel that the debate about school based education and its worth in the community should take place at this time, when the ACT government school system is facing very serious threats from the loss of 80 teaching and support positions in primary schools, high schools and colleges because of government budgetary cuts. Indeed, this motion has been proposed for debate today to fulfil the commitment that Mr Moore and I have made to Canberra's school communities to pressure the Government to change this decision.
