MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (6.04), by leave: Madam Speaker, I move together Government amendments Nos 81 and 82, which read as follows:
81. Page 133, lines 14 to 17, proposed new subsection 321(2), omit the subsection.
82. Page 133, line 23, proposed new paragraph 321(4)(a), omit "1", substitute "a ballot paper".
With regard to amendment No. 81, proposed new subsection 321(2) is being omitted as it could be taken to give the unintended result of allowing a person to claim that a document was sent by fax to the Electoral Commissioner simply by producing a fax transmission report. By omitting the subsection, the onus will be placed on the sender to ensure that a fax is properly received by the commissioner. The second amendment is to correct a drafting error. It is not a significant matter.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 23 and 24, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

This is as a consequence of the removal of the party ticket voting scheme.
Amendment agreed to.
