This amendment responds to scrutiny comments on the bill and sets out new provisions which outline what actions an authorised person may take when entering an abandoned vehicle. These new provisions protect the privacy of vehicle owners by requiring an authorised person to take only reasonable steps to identify a vehicle. This amendment inserts examples of when it would be appropriate to remove an item from a vehicle. The amendment also includes a provision which prevents authorised persons from disclosing information they may have come across while exercising the power to enter an abandoned vehicle.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 26, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 27 agreed to.
Clause 28.
MR STEEL (Murrumbidgee—Minister for City Services, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Minister for Roads and Active Travel and Minister for Transport) (5.04): I move amendment No 2 on the green paper circulated in my name [see schedule 3 at page 4173]. This amendment inserts a new section into clause 28 which sets out a requirement for a hoarding code of practice. The amendment would mean that I cannot approve a code of practice for six months, to allow time for a code of practice to be thoughtfully developed. I note that Ms Le Couteur had some similar amendments, but mine deals with the making of a code of practice even if all prerequisites have been met. It means that no action could be taken on extreme cases of hoarding for a year.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 28, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 29 to 32, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 33 agreed to.
Clauses 34 to 36, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Clause 37.
MR STEEL (Murrumbidgee—Minister for City Services, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Minister for Roads and Active Travel and Minister for Transport) (5.06): I move amendment No 6 on the white paper circulated in my name [see schedule 5 at page 4176]. This amendment responds to scrutiny comments and corrects a drafting oversight. The amendment clarifies that the definition of waste in the Litter Act 2004 is the global definition of waste defined in the Waste Management and Resource Recovery Act 2016, section 10, and not the section definition in section 63.
