Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 10 Hansard (25 November) . . Page.. 3014 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

the vast majority of people who come to them do, in fact, have a cooling-off period of this time, but they also indicated to me that this may cause some inconvenience for people from beyond the ACT. The system certainly does not exclude people from beyond the ACT, but that is the compromise.

Amendment agreed to.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (2.03 am): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No. 16 circulated in my name:

Page 5, line 20, subclause (2) omit the subclause.

This is a strange amendment in that both Mr Humphries and I thought it was a good idea to remove the subclause, and that worries me a little, Mr Speaker; in fact, a lot, actually. Mr Speaker, this amendment is consequential upon amendment No. 15. It would have a reason to exist only if there were a special clause about children.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 10

Motion (by Mr Berry) put:

That the debate be adjourned.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (2.07 am): Mr Speaker, I will be opposing this clause as a consequence of the acceptance of amendment No. 15. The same applies to the next clause, Mr Speaker.

Clause negatived.
