Mr Barr: I am happy with that. I have the words written down here but they are not quite in a—
Dr Foskey: You have it? You can move it then.
MR SPEAKER: We can sort it out between now and the end of the bill.
Mr Barr: At the end of it, yes.
Dr Foskey: Okay.
Clause 281 agreed to.
Clauses 282 to 290, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 291.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (9.26): I oppose the clause [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (9.26): We will be opposing clause 291. As I identified in my speech during the in-principle debate, this is an outdated clause. It was certainly highlighted during the hearings of the planning and environment committee. It simply makes it unlawful to exercise everyday transactions. It is unfortunate that it has been in here for so long. I was surprised to see it in the draft bill. I believe that, from memory—and Mr Gentleman might be able to help me out here—one of the recommendations made by the planning and environment committee was to remove this clause. So I welcome the fact that it is being removed. As I stated in my earlier speech, it was of concern to me that the former minister thought, when it was raised with him, that it was something he would consider enforcing. So I am glad that the government has moved from that extreme position to removing this clause, and we will also be opposing it.
Clause 291 negatived.
Clause 292.
MR SESELJA (Molonglo) (9.28): We will no longer be opposing this clause but I flag that we will be opposing the amendment.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (9.28): I seek leave to move amendments Nos 104 to 106 circulated in my name together.
Leave granted.
MR BARR: I move amendments Nos 104 to 106 circulated in my name together [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
