Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 8 Hansard (24 August) . . Page.. 2320 ..

MR SMYTH (continuing):

I also draw the attention of members to revisions which have been made to the draft code to reflect comments from the ACT Electoral Commissioner. The revised version, with amendments marked for information, is included in the documents tabled today. The purpose of the amendments is to clearly articulate the provisions relating to political signs and to remove inconsistencies between the earlier draft code and the Electoral Act.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MOTOR TRAFFIC (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1999

Paper and Ministerial Statement

MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services): Mr Speaker, for the information of members, I present a revised explanatory memorandum to the Motor Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1999 and seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

MR SMYTH: Mr Speaker, on 1 July 1999 I introduced the Motor Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1999 to allow for the use of speed cameras and red light cameras in the ACT. Unfortunately, an earlier version, rather than the final version of the explanatory memorandum, was inadvertently provided for tabling. I therefore table the corrected version of the explanatory memorandum.

Leave granted.

MR SMYTH: Mr Speaker, variation 117 to the Territory Plan proposes to enter 19 places within the Namadgi National Park on the Heritage Places Register as part of the Territory Plan. The places include the Mount Franklin ski chalet and precinct and a number of huts, homesteads and brumby yards.
