The bill, schedule 2, amends the Legislation Act 2001 by omitting a redundant definition. The Legislation Act, dictionary part 1, is also amended by omitting the definition of “CrimTrac” and inserting a new definition of “Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission”.
A minor amendment is also made to the Legislation Act, section 38, to update language by omitting unnecessary words in line with current drafting practice. Finally, schedule 3 contains technical amendments of legislation that include correcting minor errors, updating language, improving syntax and omitting redundant provisions. In particular, various pieces of legislation are amended to reflect the change of entity from CrimTrac to the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission.
As noted by Mr Hanson, amendments in schedules 2 and 3 are initiated by the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office. I would like to notify members that I have written to the Leader of the Opposition to advise of my intention to move an additional technical amendment at the detail stage of the debate.

I commend the bill to the Assembly.
