(i) if there is only 1 group - 'A'; or

b. Page 44, line 5, proposed new section 112, after subsection (4) insert the following subsection:
"(4A) Where the names of the candidates in a particular group are printed in 2 or more adjacent columns, the distinguishing letter referred to in paragraph (2)(ba) shall be printed once only above those columns.".
These are the amendments which appear on the pink sheets entitled "Supplementary Amendments D". I present the supplementary explanatory memorandum.
Amendments agreed to.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (10.20): Madam Speaker, I move the Government amendment No. 28, as circulated, which reads:
28. Page 44, line 28, proposed new subsection 113(1)(definition of "party name", paragraph (b)), omit "an abbreviation of the name of the party is registered", substitute "a registered abbreviation of the name of the party is indicated on the nomination form of each party candidate".
Proposed new subsection 113(1) is to be amended to remove a possible anomaly in the wording. As it stands, the new subsection could be taken to mean that a party abbreviation must be printed on ballot-papers for candidates of a party where that party has a registered abbreviation, regardless of whether the registered officer has requested that the full party name be printed on the ballot-papers under proposed new section 99. The amendment that I propose will ensure that the party name printed on ballot-papers will be the full name or abbreviation as specified by the registered officer of the party.
Amendment agreed to.
