Question so resolved in the negative.

Amendment negatived.

MR QUINLAN (9.26): Mr Speaker, I seek leave of the Assembly to remove the word "clear" from subclause 2(b) of the amendment circulated in my name.

Leave granted.

MR QUINLAN: I move:

Page 2, line 22, subclause (2), omit the subclause, substitute the following subclause:

"(2) Before making regulations under subsection (1), the Executive must-

(a) consult each member of the Legislative Assembly who is available to be consulted about the proposed regulations; and

(b) after the consultations have been completed, gain the written consent of a majority of the members of the Legislative Assembly.".

I too received advice from the Parliamentary Counsel that it was unnecessary.

Mr Humphries: I did not take that advice from the Parliamentary Counsel.
