It is fairly common for us to have such issues dealt with as disallowable instruments and very unusual, in fact, these days to find in a Bill an exclusion from the Subordinate Laws Act. I think it is unacceptable, and that is why I have moved this amendment. I apologise to members that it has come at the last minute, after rereading the Bill. It came out of an issue Mr Humphries raised that was drawn to my attention - something I had missed earlier. I commend the amendment to members.

MR LAMONT (Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Housing and Community Services, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (6.06): Madam Speaker, the Government will not be opposing the amendment.

Amendment agreed to.
