 The PRESIDENT (20:34): I have received the following message from the Legislative Assembly:

The Legislative Assembly returns ‘A Bill for an Act to amend the Planning and Environment Act 1987, to make consequential amendments to the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986, the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994 and other Acts and for other purposes’ and informs the Legislative Council that the Assembly has:

(1)   refused to entertain amendment Nos 1, 2, 5 and 6 as they seek to impose a tax, a direct infringement of the privileges of the House as set out in the Constitution Act 1975;

(2)   agreed to the remaining amendments; and

(3)   made further amendments with which agreement is requested.

 Harriet SHING (Eastern Victoria – Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Minister for Housing and Building, Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts) (20:35): I move:

That the message be taken into consideration on the next day of meeting.

Motion agreed to.
