MR CONNOLLY: I am not convinced that it would be a good thing in principle to pass across that power. I would almost wager good money that if we had such a provision the first time that I, as the person responsible for the printing of legislation, approved a typographical error I would be dragged before this Assembly. There would be Opposition shock-horror press releases saying, "Connolly has interfered with the sovereignty of parliament because he has changed a number or changed a date", or whatever. So I am a little sceptical about that proposal.
Mr De Domenico: And you would go from being the best Attorney-General in the world to being the second best in the world.
MR CONNOLLY: Yes, thank you; pretty much a global package, I think, Mr De Domenico. I thank members for their support, and I am sure that we are all delighted to still be here debating this.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
