Clause 380.
MR BARR (Molonglo—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Planning, Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, Minister for Industrial Relations) (9.37): I move amendment No 114 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 2065].
This amendment will substitute a new clause 380 to specify that the authority may appoint a public servant, rather than a person, as an inspector. The authority can appoint inspectors but the appointee must be a public servant. The existing provision was considered to be possibly too open-ended in the relevant report of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs performing the duties duties of a scrutiny of bills and subordinate legislation committee.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 380, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 381 to 399, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
