MS TUCKER (10.14): I move amendment No 5 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 part 1 at page 690].
MR SPEAKER: Ms Tucker, do you wish to speak to it?
MS TUCKER: Well, I believe I have already spoken to this twice.
MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (10.14): Mr Speaker, I will just say a little bit on this, because this is going to enable a tenant, or a tenant company, to manipulate the act. It is a highly artificial provision. I think it is something that we will revisit, because it is probably just going to stuff up the system totally, if it gets through. Members who voted against it initially were very sensible. This is something that we will revisit, if it comes through, because surely people do not intend to allow one party to manipulate the act artificially. It is very bad law if it is passed.
Ms Tucker, by leave, withdrew her amendment No 5.
Clause 15 agreed to.
