Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 11 Hansard (10 December) . . Page.. 3499 ..
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER (Mr Hird): Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate this order of the day concurrently with order of the day No. 3, the Crimes (Amendment) Bill (No. 8) 1998? There being no objection, that course will be followed. I remind members that in debating order of the day No. 2 they may also address their remarks to order of the day No. 3.
MR WOOD (4.46): Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker, I can tell you and the Assembly that there will not be much debate on this Bill. The Opposition agrees with it. The debate will occur next year when the amending Bill comes to the chamber and in the period between then and now as members discuss with the community the various views on this Bill. We certainly support this extension of the sunset clause in both Bills.
MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (4.47), in reply: I thank members for their support. Ms Tucker and others have indicated the same support.

Debate resumed from 19 November 1998, on motion by Mr Humphries:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (4.48): The Labor Party has given some very serious consideration to this Bill. We will not be supporting the Bill. It is a decision we arrived at after quite significant debate. In the end we came to the conclusion that the Bill is not an appropriate way to set a judge's terms and conditions of employment.
