Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 3 Hansard (6 March) . . Page.. 671 ..

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (9.57): Yes, Mr Speaker. I move amendment No 1 on the single sheet circulated in my name which relates to the commencement date being 1 July 2002 [see schedule 1 part 7 at page 689].

Amendment agreed to.

Postponed clause 2, as amended, agreed to.

Remainder of bill, by leave, taken as a whole.

MR RUGENDYKE (9.57): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 5 on the pink sheet circulated in my name [see schedule 3 part 3 at page 716].

This amendment is consequential to other amendments on the pink sheet which insert the meaning of "certified exclusionary clause" in the definitions.

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (9.58): I move amendment No 2 circulated in my name in relation to the commencement date, 1 July 2002 [see schedule 1 part 7 at page 689].

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (9.59): I move amendment No 29 on the purple sheet circulated in my name [see schedule 1 part 1 at page 679].

This is to omit the definition of "disclosure statement" and substitute the following definition: "disclosure statement means a disclosure statement under section 30". It is formal and it clarifies the operation of that definition.

Amendment agreed to.

MS TUCKER (9.59): I move amendment No 22 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 part 1 at page 690].

The problem with the definition of "key money" in the dictionary is that it provides room for a lessor to create a nominal business and make it a condition of the lease that the lessee pay him an inordinate sum for nominal goodwill and assets. My amendment simply puts the onus on the lessor to demonstrate that the goodwill and assets relate to a bona fide business operation.

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (10.00): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 30 circulated in my name on the purple sheet [see schedule 1 part 1 at page 679].
