Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2004 Week 06 Hansard (Tuesday, 22 June 2004) . . Page.. 2433 ..

MS TUCKER (12.52): As members have said, this amendment requires an independent review of the act in three years time, with particular focus on the impact and effectiveness of the right of entry requirements. The government’s own legislative review will provide an opportunity to reassess the amended act. However, given the contentious nature of some of the features of this bill, it is clearly important that an independent review, which incorporates consultation with key stakeholders, be conducted.

Proposed new clause 24A agreed to.

Clause 25 agreed to.

Clause 26.

MS DUNDAS (12.52): I move amendment No 2, circulated in my name [see schedule 5 at page 2452].

For the information of members, this is a simple consequential amendment to my earlier amendment to insert qualification provisions for authorised representatives. This mechanism is a decision of the chief executive of WorkCover. It is appropriate that this decision be reviewable, as are other decisions of the chief executive. It simply adds decisions in relation to authorised representatives to the list of reviewable decisions into the schedule at the end of this act.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 26, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 27.

MS GALLAGHER (Minister for Education and Training, Minister for children, Youth and Family Support, Minister for Women and Minister for Industrial Relations) (12.53): I seek leave to move amendments No 16 to 18 circulated in my name together.

Leave granted.

MS GALLAGHER: I move amendments No 16 to 18 circulated in my name together [see schedule 3 at page 2446].

These amendments are consequential to the first government amendments regarding proposed section 57A, definition for division 4.3A re the extension of right of entry to registered organisations.

Amendments agreed to.
