 Anthony CARBINES (Ivanhoe – Leader of the House, Minister for Police, Minister for Community Safety, Minister for Victims, Minister for Racing) (15:37): I move:

That I introduce a bill for an act to amend the Racing Act 1958 and the Domestic Animals Act 1994, to amend the Australian Grands Prix Act 1994 in relation to approved motor sport events under that act and for other purposes.

Motion agreed to.

 Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (15:37): You could have waited one more week, Minister, but I do ask for a brief explanation of the bill.

 Anthony CARBINES (Ivanhoe – Leader of the House, Minister for Police, Minister for Community Safety, Minister for Victims, Minister for Racing) (15:38): As I said, we prefer to work people all the way to the finish line. This is a bill to establish a single integrity oversight body for the Victorian racing industry and to modernise the governance arrangements for Harness Racing Victoria and Greyhound Racing Victoria.

Read first time.

Ordered to be read second time tomorrow.
