Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 3 Hansard (7 March) . . Page.. 593 ..
Clause 1
Debate resumed from 15 February 2000.
MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (12.19): Mr Speaker, this Bill was introduced by the Attorney-General on 25 November 1999 and it proposes amendments to a range of legislation largely concerned with consumer affairs.
MR SPEAKER: The question is that clause 1 be agreed to. We are not debating the agreement in principle.
MR STANHOPE: Did we do that?
MR SPEAKER: We did that. The question is that clause 1 be agreed to.
Clause agreed to.
Clauses 2 to 4, by leave, taken together.
MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (12.20): I move:
That the debate be adjourned.
Mr Berry: Why?
MR HUMPHRIES: Because you have dropped amendments which we have not seen before today. We have not had a chance to look at them.
Mr Stanhope: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker. The Attorney-General has just suggested that we dropped amendments today that he has not previously seen. That is not correct. They were hand delivered by my office to the Attorney's office last week. I resent the fact that he is here and now suggesting that that was not done.
MR SPEAKER: That is more of a personal explanation than a point of order.
Question put:
That the debate be adjourned.
