CONSIDERATION OF EXECUTIVE BUSINESS

Suspension of Standing and Temporary Orders

MR QUINLAN (12.24): Mr Speaker, the Opposition has no problem with this Bill. We realise that it is part of nationally uniform legislation, and we also accept that it needs to be in place by 30 June and that other jurisdictions who have passed this legislation previously need to be advised of that fact, so we commend the Bill to the house.

MS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer)(12.24), in reply: Mr Speaker, I am happy that the Assembly supports this legislation.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
