Ordered that the question be divided.

Proposed new clause 4A agreed to.

Proposed new clause 4B negatived.

Proposed new clause 4C.

MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (3.48): This is about minimum housing standards. They are not really difficult things to work out. I know this issue has been around since from two previous Assemblies ago, but I think that we can say that some of it is really bottom line stuff we can agree to. There are things like sanitation and plumbing; that you can actually lock the place that you are renting; and electrical safety and hardwired smoke detectors. We are talking about minimum standards. We are not talking about maximum standards or even average standards; we are talking about minimum standards. I am really disappointed that, I believe, this is about to go down.

Question put:

That proposed new clause 4C be agreed to.
