MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (5.19): I move amendment No 7 circulated in my name [see schedule 3 at page 1776]. The reasons for this are basically the same as for the first amendment that I moved. I will not bother repeating them. But being commercial should not be the major objective of either organisation.

MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (5.19): I will not repeat my arguments previously, other than to say that we can live with this amendment. We thought that the original bill was legislative perfection, but if Ms Le Couteur is particularly exercised by this, we are happy to support it.

Amendment agreed to.

Clause 37, as amended, agreed to.

Clause 38.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (5.20): I move amendment No 8 circulated in my name [see schedule 3 at page 1776]. Again, we have basically had the arguments before, so I will not bother repeating them.

MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (5.20): Yes, we will be supporting these amendments, save again for my pedantry. “Ageing”, not “aging”, in the example, would be useful, if we could correct that.

MADAM SPEAKER: I am sure the PCO will be able to do that for us, Mr Barr.

Amendment agreed to.

MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism and Major Events) (5.21): I move amendment No 13 circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 1772]. Continuing a theme, this amendment clarifies that one of the functions of the SLA is to carry out the development of land in a manner that is environmentally sustainable.

Amendment agreed to.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (5.21), by leave: I move amendments Nos 9 and 10 circulated in my name together [see schedule 3 at page 1776]. Again, I will not repeat my comments from earlier in this debate.

MR COE (Yerrabi—Leader of the Opposition) (5.22): Madam Deputy Speaker, as we flagged for the authority, we believe that amendment No 9 is covered elsewhere, and therefore is not required.

Ordered that the question be divided.
