Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 3 Hansard (6 March) . . Page.. 553 ..

Mr Stefaniak: Mr Speaker, I think everyone apart from Mr Kaine is fairly keen to proceed, but I do appreciate that there are some new amendments. I have my officer here who is completely across the list. I think Mr Stanhope's staff are fairly well across this as well as my staff. It may be sensible to adjourn this debate and do the Unit Titles Bill first, and not do this before, say, 11.30 am. I am quite happy to do that. I understand that only several amendments are new and I think most people seem reasonably keen to get on with this, but I do take Mr Kaine's point. I think with that short adjournment, Mr Quinton could assist him in relation to any fresh amendments that hit the deck today.

Mr Moore: The Unit Titles Bill first.

Mr Stefaniak: Yes.

Mr Stanhope: And the Discrimination Amendment Bill.

Mr Stefaniak: Yes. I think that might assist Mr Kaine. Mr Quinton, in the meantime, can have a talk with him.

MR SPEAKER: Before we proceed further, could I have an assurance, if that is possible, that all amendments by all members have now been circulated?

Mr Rugendyke: Mr Speaker, all my amendments have been circulated.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Rugendyke.

Mr Stanhope: All of the Labor Party's amendments have been circulated.

MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Stanhope. Ms Tucker?

Ms Tucker: All the Greens' amendments have been circulated.

Mr Stefaniak: I understand there are some final ones coming within the next 10 minutes, and that is it from the government.

MR SPEAKER: I beg your pardon?

Mr Stefaniak: I understand there is still one more lot from the government which will be circulated within the next 10 minutes.

Mr Stanhope: I think you are making Mr Kaine's case for him, Bill.

Mr Moore: Mr Speaker, I think the Assembly, if I have judged comments correctly, would like to proceed to deal with the two unit titles bills and the discrimination bill, the next bills on the paper, and to adjourn this bill until 11.30. Having done those bills we can proceed with this one. That will give people time to have a look at those amendments. I hope that meets Mr Kaine's needs. It is a relatively short time, but we do want to proceed with this. At least we can have a look at this morning's amendments.
