MR WOOD (Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for Arts and Heritage, and Acting Minister for Health) (6.12): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 3 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 3240].

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 24, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 25 to 36, by leave, taken together and agreed to.

Clause 37.

MS TUCKER (6.13): I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name on the purple sheet [see schedule 3 at page 3243].

This amendment echoes the effect of my first two amendments. It has been put in this place to reassure members of those professions and businesses, such as the pharmacists, that the consultation with board or representative entities will apply to all matters concerning regulation of a profession and its businesses. I understand that the drafters have no doubt that the first two amendments will be completely effective in this regard. This amendment, while almost certainly redundant, does no harm and provides concrete reassurance.

MS DUNDAS (6.14): We will be supporting this amendment. We agree that it is not absolutely necessary. However, it further ensures the scrutiny and oversight of the Assembly in regard to the regulations that will be established under this legislation.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 37, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 38 to 53, by leave, taken together and agreed to.

Clause 54.

MR WOOD (Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for Arts and Heritage, and Acting Minister for Health) (6.15): Mr Speaker, I move amendment No 4 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 3240].

Amendment agreed to.
