Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 8 Hansard (31 August) . . Page.. 2807 ..


MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (8.22): Mr Speaker, we will support this amendment. It basically allows for me, the minister, to receive notices of disclosure of interest, whether I want them or not. I do not mind, I suppose, so long as they do not come too thick and fast.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 28, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 29 to 31, by leave, taken together.

Amendments (Mr Quinlan's ), by leave, agreed to:

Nos 35 to 37-

Clause 29-

Page 12, line 9, subclause (3), omit "ACTIC", substitute "ACTIA".

Clause 30-

Page 12, line 13, paragraph (1) (a), omit "ACTIC's", substitute "ACTIA's".

Clause 31-

Page 12, line 21, omit "ACTIC", substitute "ACTIA".

Clauses 29 to 31, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 32.

Amendment (Mr Quinlan's ) agreed to:

No 38-

Page 12, line 24, omit "ACTIC", substitute " (1) ACTIA".

Amendment (Mr Quinlan's ) proposed:

No 39-

Page 12, line 24, add the following subclause:

"(2) Subsection (1) does not confer on ACTIA a power to enter into a contract of employment.".

MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (8.24): The government will not oppose this. Our view is that it is probably unnecessary given that clause 31 provides that the staff are to be employed under the Public Sector Management Act. Clause 32 adds that consultants may be engaged. For the sake of confirming what is, I think, evident in the bill, we do not oppose the amendment.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 32, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 33 to 40, by leave, taken together.
