MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (6.01): Madam Speaker, I move Government amendment No. 80, which reads as follows:

80. Page 124, lines 16 and 17, proposed new subsection 298(2), omit the subsection, substitute the following subsection:

"(2) This section does not apply in relation to -

(a) a visiting officer acting under section 147; or

(b) a notice authorised by the Commissioner for display in the polling place.".

This amendment is to ensure that the offence of exhibiting electoral matter in a polling place does not apply to material that is exhibited by a visiting officer under new section 147. Everyone understands that.

Amendment agreed to.
