Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 5 Hansard (5 May) . . Page.. 1419 ..


MR BERRY (continuing):

A person shall not commence or carry out work in relation to which this section applies unless the provisional levy in respect of that work has been paid to the Board.

So that is the language that should apply, the language that is in the Bill.

Mr Stefaniak: That is right. That is fine.

MR SPEAKER: Are you amending the amendment or withdrawing it?

MR BERRY: You will have to ask Mr Stefaniak about that, but we will oppose it.

MR SPEAKER: Are you amending it or withdrawing it, please?

Mr Stefaniak: I think if you delete "authority" and put "board" that would be correct.

MR BERRY: Then it would be exactly the same as the one that is in there.

Mr Stefaniak: No, I think you have "a person", rather than a "project owner".

MR BERRY: Oh, the project owner.

MR SPEAKER: Would you mind advising the Chair what you are planning to do?

MR STEFANIAK: (Minister for Education) (6.16): Mr Speaker, if you simply delete "authority" and write "board" on my amendment, that would be correct and it would be in accordance with the way the other amendments have gone. I seek leave to amend my amendment, Mr Speaker.

Leave granted.

Amendment, as amended, agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education) (6.17): Turning to my amendment No. 11, Mr Speaker, you will note that the word "authority" appears there. I seek leave to change that to "board", which would make it accord with the other amendments.

Leave granted.

MR STEFANIAK: I move:

Page 7, line 33, paragraph (2)(b), clause 20, omit the paragraph, substitute the following paragraph:

"(b) give to the Board such documents and information as the authority reasonably requires in order to assess the training levy payable in respect of the work.".
