combat sports and this bill seeks to create the right regulatory environment to ensure that those risks are assessed and, if necessary, addressed. The amendment put forward by Mr Milligan undoes the intent of some of that legislation.

Question put:
That the amendments be agreed to.

With extensive previous ACT reviews, I can see that debate on this bill has been delayed for some time, partly because of ongoing discussion, debate and concern amongst residents and members of the public about the capital maintenance guidelines. I am pleased that there has been quite an extensive consultation process, from what I have heard from stakeholders.
From the perspective of the stakeholders, the definition of capital maintenance and capital replacement in retirement villages was one of the key points to address, and to address satisfactorily.
