Clause 21.
MR RATTENBURY (Molonglo) (4.39): I move amendment No 23 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 5092].
This is a very simple amendment regarding the review of the act. The amendment will bring the review of the act in line with the expiration of the 2020 target. Currently, the act would be reviewed in 2015 and 2025. This provision ensures that it is reviewed in 2020—obviously the key measuring point in terms of whether we have met the agreed 40 per cent target or not. I commend the amendment to the Assembly.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 21, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 22 agreed to.
Dictionary.
MR RATTENBURY (Molonglo) (4.41), by leave: I move amendments Nos 24 to 26 circulated in my name together [see schedule 2 at page 5092].
I will speak briefly to these amendments. These are very simple changes to the dictionary which reflect or flow on from earlier changes made in the legislation and to pick up a definition of government agency which was moved from its earlier position in the bill.
Amendments agreed to.
Dictionary, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 17, as amended—reconsideration.
Motion (by Mr Corbell) agreed to:
That Mr Corbell’s amendment No 1 and Mr Rattenbury’s amendment No 19 to clause 17, as amended, be reconsidered.
MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for the Environment, Climate Change and Water, Minister for Energy and Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (4.42): I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name [see schedule 8 at page 5095].
My amendment No 1 has been effectively replaced by Mr Rattenbury’s amendment No 19. However, they both still currently appear in the bill and we would have a strange situation if we have two members appointed to the climate change council, both of whom seek to represent people from a disadvantaged background, albeit with slightly different definitions.
