MR RAMSAY: I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name and table a supplementary explanatory statement to the government amendments [see schedule 6 at page 2173]. This amendment is simply about the commencement date. The commencement date will be 1 July 2021, rather than on a day by fixed notice.
Amendment agreed to.
Clause 2, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 3 agreed to.
Clause 4.
MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (6.04): I seek leave to move amendments to this bill, some of which have not been considered by the scrutiny committee.
Leave granted.
MS LE COUTEUR: I move amendment No 2 circulated in my name and present a supplementary explanatory statement to my amendments [see schedule 5 at page 2165]. This is adding additional areas where the Criminal Code will apply for offences against the act, bans on gifts from gambling businesses et cetera, and misleading electoral advertising.
MR RAMSAY (Ginninderra—Attorney-General, Minister for the Arts and Cultural Events, Minister for Building Quality Improvement, Minister for Business and Regulatory Services and Minister for Seniors and Veterans) (6.05): I move amendment No 1 circulated in my name [see schedule 8 at page 2174]. This amendment amends Ms Le Couteur’s amendment No 2. It is removing references to future amendments to the bill that the government will not be supporting. It achieves the same intent as the technical amendment to fix incorrect cross-references in the bill.
Mr Ramsay’s amendment to Ms Le Couteur’s proposed amendment agreed to.
Ms Le Couteur’s amendment, as amended, agreed to.
Clause 4, as amended, agreed to.
Clauses 5 to 8, by leave, taken together and agreed to.
Proposed new clause 8A.
MS LE COUTEUR (Murrumbidgee) (6.06): I move amendment No 3 circulated in my name, which inserts a new clause 8A [see schedule 5 at page 2165]. This is the bit that makes the expenditure cap higher for non-party candidates than for party candidates.
