Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (2 December) . . Page.. 4381 ..

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (10.38): Mr Speaker, I am happy not to move my amendment No. 4 in accepting Mr Berry's definition of "public trading enterprise".

Amendment (by Mr Berry) proposed:

Page 2, line 24, proposed definition of "Public Trading Enterprise Sector", omit the definition, substitute the following definition:

" `Public Trading Enterprise Sector' means organisations whose primary function is to provide goods and services which are mainly market orientated, non-regulatory and non-financial in nature and who recover a significant part of their costs from individual consumers;".

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (10.38): Mr Speaker, my amendment No. 5 about the definition of "Public Trading Enterprise Sector" is, I believe, more comprehensive than the one that Mr Berry has put forward. It does have extra elements, Mr Speaker.

Mr Whitecross: What are the extra elements? Could you explain them?

MRS CARNELL: You have to read the two of them. We can vote on yours first, if you like, and then I can move mine, or I can move an amendment to yours. We add the words "and non-financial" to the words that Mr Berry has in his. I think it just adds a new element.

Mr Berry: We will go along with that.

MRS CARNELL: May I move my amendment, Mr Speaker?

MR SPEAKER: Yes, you may, if Mr Berry withdraws his amendment No. 3.

Mr Berry: I seek leave to withdraw my amendment.

Leave granted.

Mr Berry: I withdraw the amendment.

MRS CARNELL: I move:

Page 2, line 24, definition of "Public Trading Enterprise Sector", omit the definition, substitute the following definition:

" `Public Trading Enterprise Sector' means those organisations whose primary function is to provide goods and services which are mainly market orientated and non-regulatory in nature and who may recover a significant part of their costs from individual consumers;".
