MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (4.38): I do not know whether to be flattered or violated. But, one way or another, the Greens have taken the Liberals’ ideas and supposedly improved them, so I guess we will go for option A. We do think this is an important issue. We think it was a pretty significant oversight in the original legislation that this sort of information was not going to be required to be made public. Given we had the Auditor-General’s report into the LDA that was so damning, for this government to not address the fundamental issue of that whole saga in this new legislation is worrying. It speaks to the complacency which allowed all those issues to be rife in the LDA. We will be supporting the amendment put forward by Ms Le Couteur.
Amendment agreed to.
Proposed new clause 12A agreed to.
Clauses 13 to 15, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 16.
MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (4.40): I move amendment No 3 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 1772]. This amendment inserts a list of non-exhaustive examples of the requirements or priorities that the minister may include in the CRA statement of expectations, so it is a very straightforward amendment.
MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (4.40): The Greens of course support this amendment, noting that we have put forward previous amendments which deal with similar issues, like affordable housing.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 16, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 17.
MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (4.40): I move amendment No 3 circulated in my name [see schedule 4 at page 1778]. At present the legislation does not stipulate a particular time frame; it simply says “as soon as possible”. The Canberra Liberals think there should be a specific time frame and we are proposing 60 days.
MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (4.41): The Greens will support that. It is a quite reasonable requirement that there be a time frame.
Amendment agreed to.
