MR BERRY (continuing):
collection regime in place which is more efficient against the background of the building regulation regime in the Territory. To that extent, the Opposition will be supporting the amendments.
Bear in mind that these amendments have been brought forward at fairly short notice, and there has been a very tight consultation phase with people we might wish to consult with. I am not advised that there any particular difficulties with the amendments which have been introduced by the Minister. On that basis, we are prepared to support them and we will maintain a watching brief in relation to the efficiency of these regulations in delivering the outcomes anticipated by the original legislation which these amendments seek to address.
MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education) (11.43), in reply: I thank members for their support for this Bill. The Act can now effectively commence. The board is in place. It met on 15 November. It was a very good meeting. With these amendments, of which they were very supportive and which they wanted to see up and running, they can get on with their job according to the legislation.
