Question put:

That Ms Burch’s amendment No 1 to Mr Smyth’s amendment No 1 be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Mr Smyth’s amendment, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 2, as amended, agreed to.

Clauses 3 to 7, by leave, taken together and agreed to.

Proposed new clause 7A.

MS BURCH (Brindabella—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for Disability, Minister for Racing and Gaming and Minister for the Arts) (5.16): I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name, which inserts a new clause 7A [see schedule 3 at page 2139]. I have tabled a supplementary explanatory statement to the government amendments.

I made all my comments in my statements earlier, and I hope the Assembly supports those changes.

Proposed new clause 7A agreed to.

Proposed new clause 7B.

MS BURCH (Brindabella—Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for Disability, Minister for Racing and Gaming and Minister for the Arts) (5.17): I move amendment No 2 circulated in my name, which inserts a new clause 7B [see schedule 3 at page 2139].
