Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1995 Week 7 Hansard (17 October) . . Page.. 1743 ..

Detail Stage

Clauses 1 to 3, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

Clause 4

MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition) (4.06): Pursuant to standing order 185, I move:

That clause 4 be postponed.

My reason for doing this is that I have amendments to move and the amendment that would affect clause 4, which is in effect for the removal of clause 4, logically comes after the other amendments; so I would like it to be deferred very briefly.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Clause postponed.

Remainder of Bill, by leave, taken as a whole

MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition) (4.07), by leave: I move:

1. Page 1, line 9, after clause 3, insert the following clauses:
