Madam Speaker, we have addressed these amendments. They are too intricate to go into in detail.

Amendments agreed to.

MR HUMPHRIES (5.12): I move:

Schedule, page 56, amendment of Motor Omnibus Services Act 1955, proposed amendment of subsection 4C(2) (penalty provision), omit the proposed amendment.

Subsection 4C(2) of the Motor Omnibus Services Act provides that it is an offence to purchase a book of bus tickets on behalf of another person. That is my paraphrase of what the offence is. When the committee saw that, not surprisingly, it asked the question: Why should it be an offence to purchase a book of bus tickets on behalf of somebody else?
