MR RAMSAY (Ginninderra—Attorney-General, Minister for the Arts, Creative Industries and Cultural Events, Minister for Building Quality Improvement, Minister for Business and Regulatory Services and Minister for Seniors and Veterans) (6.59): The government does not support this amendment. We prefer the text that is currently in the legislation and in our amendment No 6, which I understand will lapse, given the position of the other parties. We believe that that gives clearer guidance to the receivers of donations on what are reasonable steps.

The debates on planning and this bill have gone beyond people’s expectations; hence the time we find ourselves here. So the question before you is that the debate be adjourned.
Question resolved in the affirmative.

Leave granted.
MR RATTENBURY: I move:
That, in relation to the Planning Legislation Amendment Bill 2020, the Assembly:
