Having considered Mrs Kikkert’s social media post, I am of the view that that implies I did not give Mrs Kikkert a fair hearing. Mrs Kikkert returns at 11.12, when she finishes her suspension. I consider that both of these remarks reflect on the impartiality of the chair and I will be asking Mrs Kikkert to withdraw both reflections. I would have made that statement first up this morning, but out of respect for the condolence motions I have chosen to make it now.
Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee

MRS JONES (Murrumbidgee) (11.04): I present the following report:
Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee (Legislative Scrutiny Role)—Scrutiny Report 28, dated 12 March 2019, together with the relevant minutes of proceedings.
I seek leave to make a brief statement.
Leave granted.
MRS JONES: Scrutiny report 28 contains the committee’s comments on three bills, four pieces of subordinate legislation, five government responses, one national regulation and proposed amendments to the Electoral Amendment Bill 2018 and the Controlled Sports Bill 2018. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly.

I move:
That the report be noted.
I thank the committee secretariat, both Nicola and Kate. They have been wonderful. I also thank my fellow committee members, Mrs Kikkert and Ms Lee. They are a delight to work with.
