Gabrielle WILLIAMS (Dandenong – Minister for Government Services, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Public and Active Transport) (14:39): I move:

That the amendments be agreed to and the following amendment be made to the bill:

1. Clause 19, omit this clause.

This is done to rectify a drafting error in the original amendment that passed through the upper house to ensure that the intent of that amendment is met.

Tim McCURDY (Ovens Valley) (14:40): This is as a result of a genuine drafting error around clause 19 in the other place, and this amendment will resolve that situation. We thank the government for their action to resolve this situation, and we will be supporting the motion.

Motion agreed to.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: A message will now be sent to the Legislative Council informing them of the house’s decision.
