Proposed new clauses 9A to 9F agreed to.
Clause 9—reconsideration.
MADAM SPEAKER: I go back to that earlier matter. I have spoken to the Clerk and I ask Ms Fitzharris, although it is retrospective, untidy and unfortunate, to seek leave to move the amendment on the pink sheet.
MS FITZHARRIS (Yerrabi—Minister for Health and Wellbeing, Minister for Transport and City Services and Minister for Higher Education, Training and Research) (4.04): I seek leave to move amendment No 1 on the pink sheet circulated in my name.
Leave granted.
MS FITZHARRIS: I move amendment No 1 on the pink sheet circulated in my name [see schedule 2 at page 5350].
MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you, and thank you for your patience, Mr Coe and Mr Hanson.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 9, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 10.
MS FITZHARRIS (Yerrabi—Minister for Health and Wellbeing, Minister for Transport and City Services and Minister for Higher Education, Training and Research) (4.04): I move amendment No 12 circulated in my name [see schedule 1 at page 5335]. This clause requires an authorised person to seize a dog if there is a complaint that a dog attacked and caused the death of, or serious injury to, a person. An authorised person has discretion to seize a dog that is the subject of other less serious complaints. If a dog is seized, the authorised person must impound the dog or, if satisfied that the dog can be kept securely and safely on the premises, order a home impoundment of the dog. A home impoundment can be with conditions. A person commits an offence with a maximum of 50 penalty units if they do not comply with the home impoundment and this is considered reasonable and proportionate.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 10, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 11 agreed to.
Clause 12.
