MS BERRY (Ginninderra—Deputy Chief Minister, Minister for Education and Early Childhood Development, Minister for Housing and Suburban Development, Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Minister for Sport and Recreation and Minister for Women) (4.27): The government does not support Mr Milligan’s amendment. Defining commercial purpose by exclusion of those not reinvesting in the entity creates a loophole for commercial events to claim that they are reinvesting in their entity and therefore should be excluded from the definition for registrable events.
This amendment will create confusion as to what reinvestment is and will make it difficult for an organisation to prove it either way. This poses a risk for the integrity of the bill, in that the registrar will not be able to clearly define what is a registrable event, and what is not. Administrative appeals may increase as a result. Instead I propose to provide, as I said in my speech previously, detailed guidance material to the industry to help them determine where their event fits, with the guidance and support of administrators.
MR RATTENBURY (Kurrajong) (4.28): The Greens will not be supporting Mr Milligan’s amendment where he seeks to add the words “that will not be reinvested in the entity”. Minister Berry has already touched on our key concern. I think it creates a grey zone that is unhelpful to the bill, and on that basis we will not be able to support it.
Question put:
That the amendment be agreed to.
