Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 8 Hansard (25 June) . . Page.. 2216 ..

MR SPEAKER (continuing):

amendments" schedule 3 "Technical Amendments". The explanatory memorandum to the Bill states that:

the objective of the Bill is to further enhance the ACT's statute book to ensure that it is of a high standard and that the Bill does this by amending acts and regulations for statute law revision purposes only; and

the Bill forms part of the technical amendments program for ACT legislation-the essential criteria for the inclusion of amendments in the BILL being that the amendments are minor or technical, and non controversial.

I do not need to explain Ms Tucker's amendments-they are all before the house. My advice, according to the Clerk, can be summarised as follows:

Given the scope of the Act as set down in the explanatory memorandum and, particularly, the scope of Schedule 3, my advice is that the amendment is out of order as it exceeds the scope of the Bill.

I rule accordingly and table the advice.

Debate (on motion by Ms Tucker ) adjourned to the next sitting.
