Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 6 Hansard (15 June) . . Page.. 1954 ..

MR STEFANIAK (continuing):

allow the Electoral Commissioner to obtain information from utilities such as ActewAGL for use in keeping the electoral rolls up-to-date.

Amendment agreed to.

MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (11.08): I move amendment No 4 circulated in my name [see schedule 6, part 1, at page 1990]. Mr Speaker, this amendment is consequent upon amendment No 1 that I moved. That amendment was amended by an amendment of Mr Stefaniak's. I understand that Mr Stefaniak proposes to include a similar amendment, which we will support.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (11.09): For consistency, I formally move a similar amendment to Mr Stanhope's amendment No 4 [see schedule 4, part 4, at page 1987].

Mr Stefaniak's amendment agreed to.

Mr Stanhope's amendment, as amended, agreed to.

MR STANHOPE (Leader of the Opposition) (11.10): I move amendment No 5 circulated in my name [see schedule 6, part 1, at page 1990]. Similarly, Mr Speaker, this amendment is consequential upon the successful passage of amendment No 3 earlier in the evening.

Amendment agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (11.10): I formally ask for leave to move together amendment No 8 and amendment No 1 circulated in my name.

Leave granted.

MR STEFANIAK: I move amendment No 8 [see schedule 4, part 1, at page 1981] and amendment No 1 [see schedule 4, part 2, at page 1987] circulated in my name. Mr Speaker, the omission of amendment 1.69 in schedule 1 is consequential upon the amendment made at amendment No 3 to omit existing section 233.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health, Housing and Community Services) (11.11): Mr Speaker, the amendments are about the repeal of section 233, which talks about an amount of $1,500 or more and says that in calculating the sum an amount of less than $500 need not be counted. The amount of less than $500 now becomes less than $1,500. I believe I am correct in saying, Mr Speaker, that we are again back at the ugly loophole.

Amendments agreed to.

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Attorney-General) (11.12): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 9 circulated in my name [see schedule 4, part 1, at page 1981]. This amendment is consequential upon the amendment being made by amendment No 3 to section 230 of the Electoral Act.
