Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2004 Week 05 Hansard (Friday, 14 May 2004) . . Page.. 2085 ..


Clause 41 in the bill substitutes a new section 222(1) to identify persons required to submit disclosure returns under the proposed new disclosure threshold of $1500. To be consistent with the existing scheme, a reference to non-party groups should be inserted in the new section 221(1).

Similarly, when we come to clause 48, which is my second amendment, it says:

…substitutes a new section 222(7) to define “prescribed amount” for use in the section, and lists various entities to which the definition refers. Again, to be consistent with the existing scheme, a reference to non-party groups should be inserted in the definition of “prescribed amount” in new section 222(7).

Accordingly, I say those two things in relation to both this particular amendment to clause 41 and the amendment to clause 48, which will occur shortly.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 41, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 42.

MR STEFANIAK (12.26 am): I will be opposing this clause. Again this refers to the non-party group matter.

Clause 42 negatived.

Clause 43.

MR STEFANIAK (12.27 am): I will be opposing this clause. I note that Mr Stanhope has an amendment.

MR STANHOPE (Chief Minister, Attorney-General, Minister for Environment and Minister for Community Affairs) (12.27 am): I move amendment No 6 circulated in my name on the blue sheet [see schedule 5 at page 2133]. Again, this is consequential to amendments that have been moved and agreed previously in relation to the changes agreed in relation to “ballot group”.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 43, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 44 to 47, by leave, taken together.

MR STEFANIAK (12.28 am): I will be opposing these clauses. Again, these are consequential.

Clauses 44 to 47 negatived.

Clause 48.
