Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 11 Hansard (21 October) . . Page.. 3501 ..
Clauses 242 to 405, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 406
MR RUGENDYKE (5.37): I move:
Page 181, line 24, omit "cares for, but does not have parental responsibility for,", substitute "provides care, whether regular and substantial care or otherwise, for".
This amendment alters clause 406 to reflect the definition of "carers". It opens the clause up to other people who are charged with taking care of children to safeguard or promote the care, the welfare and development of the child or young person. It increases the number of people who can do that.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 407 to 419, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Proposed new clause 419A
MR RUGENDYKE (5.39): I move:
That the following new clause be inserted in the Bill: Page 186, line 12:
"419A Childrens Court Magistrate
Until the Chief Magistrate declares a magistrate to be the Childrens Court Magistrate under section 49, the Chief Magistrate is the Childrens Court Magistrate.".
This is simply a transitional provision for the Children's Court Magistrate until the Chief Magistrate declares a magistrate to be the Children's Court Magistrate under clause 49, which we passed the other day. The Chief Magistrate is in fact the Children's Court Magistrate.
Proposed new clause agreed to.
Clauses 420 to 441, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
