Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 6 Hansard (25 May) . . Page.. 1884 ..
The Assembly voted-
Ayes, 6 Noes, 11 Mr Berry Ms Carnell Mr Corbell Mr Cornwell Mr Hargreaves Mr Hird Mr Quinlan Mr Humphries Mr Stanhope Mr Kaine Mr Wood Mr Moore Mr Osborne Mr Rugendyke Mr Smyth Mr Stefaniak Ms TuckerQuestion so resolved in the negative.
Amendment negatived.
Clause 26 agreed to.
Clauses 27 to 42, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.
Clause 43.
MR QUINLAN (9.50): Mr Speaker, I have two amendments to clause 43. I seek leave to move them together.
Leave granted.
MR QUINLAN: I move:
Page 20, line 18, subclause (1), omit the subclause.
Page 20, line 23, subclause (2), omit "answering the question", substitute "answering a question".
The second amendment is contingent on the first amendment. Again, the amendments arose out of the scrutiny of bills committee's reports, obviously not always supported by the chairman of the scrutiny of bills committee, and relate to self-incrimination. Subclause 43(1) effectively strips a person involved of the right to refuse to provide information on the basis of self-incrimination.
Mr Humphries: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker. I cannot read the writing in Mr Quinlan's amendments. Can he just tell us what those words are after "omit"?
MR SPEAKER: Omit "answering the question", substitute "answering a question".
