Proposed new subsections 238(2) and (3) are to be amended to allow a request to amend a claim or return to be made by the person who lodged the claim or return, or the person who is the relevant reporting agent at the time of making the request, rather than allowing requests for amendments to be made only by the person who lodged the original claim or return. Under this new section as it stands, the provision could be unworkable if the person who made the original request is unavailable or has ceased to have any connection with the party, the MLA, or the candidate, as the case may be.
Amendment agreed to.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.29): I move Government amendment No. 75, which reads:
75. Page 104, line 13, proposed new subsection 238(5), omit "written notice of the reasons for", substitute "a review statement about".
Proposed new subsection 238(5) is to be amended as a consequence of inserting a right of review of a decision to refuse a request to amend a claim or return under this new section. This was recommended by the Standing Committee on Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation.
Amendment agreed to.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.30), by leave: I move Government amendments Nos 76, 77, 78 and 79 together. They are as follows:
