example. The offence as it currently stands prohibits a person under the age of 18 from entering a licensed venue without being accompanied by an adult. This is an inappropriate offence to make into a strict liability offence, as it is not entirely clear that the under-age person would have been aware they were committing an offence.
The government amendment strikes out subsection (2) of section 121 to make the offence into a normal offence, and the Greens believe that that is an appropriate amendment to be made, and we will be supporting it.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 121, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 122 to 127, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 128.
MRS DUNNE (Ginninderra) (6.24): Madam Assistant Speaker, could I seek your direction, because I have got contrary advice here. Can I move amendments 11 and 12 together, or do I have to move them sequentially?
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Ms Le Couteur): I need to seek advice. The advice is that it is best to do them sequentially. That is what the script says.
MRS DUNNE: I move amendment No 11 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 4139].
Amendment No 11 is a consequence of my earlier amendment No 9, which relates to confidential information in the RAMP. This disapplies the rules about a RAMP, if there are confidential sections—or disapplies this section to confidential sections of the RAMP. It permits a person from withholding confidential provisions from public inspection without committing an offence. I will foreshadow that amendment 12 actually inserts a new part, 128A, and it makes it an offence for a person, if a person makes public disclosure of confidential provisions of a RAMP, unless it is required by law operating in this territory, including the Liquor Act.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 128, as amended, agreed to.
Proposed new clause 128A.
MRS DUNNE (Ginninderra) (6.26): This is why I could not move them together; I have just realised. I move amendment No 12 circulated in my name. [see schedule 1 at page 4139]. It inserts new clause 128A, which I have spoken about already.
Proposed new clause 128A agreed to.
Clause 129 agreed to.
