Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 13 Hansard (7 December) . . Page.. 3867 ..
MR OSBORNE (continuing):
I need to make the point that the committee still thinks this issue must be looked at. As Mr Kaine said, we threw it back to the Government. They said no. As far as we are concerned, it is not the end of the debate. If Mr Hargreaves wants to move stupid amendments, that is fine, but he will lose as he normally does when he does silly things.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 60 to 66, as amended, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 80, as amended, agreed to.
Bill, as amended, agreed to.
Debate resumed from 25 November 1999.
Clause 1 agreed to.
Clause 2
MR SMYTH (Minister for Urban Services) (4.24): The commencement date of the Bill has been changed from 1 December 1999 to a date to be consented. The reasons for delaying the implementation are, firstly, we have not passed it now, and it is impossible to start on 1 December; and, secondly, we will have to now put in place the system. I move:
Page 2, line 10, omit the clause, substitute the following clause:
"2 Commencement
(1) Section 1 and this section commence on the day this Act is notified in the Gazette.
(2) The remaining provisions commence on a day fixed by the Minister by notice in the Gazette.
(3) However, if a provision has not commenced within 6 months after the day mentioned in subsection (1), it commences on the first day after that period.".
I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 3 to 8, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
