 The PRESIDENT (14:18): Under joint standing order 6(1), I have received a report from the Clerk of the Parliaments informing the house that she has made a correction in the Justice Legislation Amendment (Family Violence, Coercive Control, Good Character, Risk Assessment and Other Matters) Bill 2026. The correction is as follows:

Council amendment No 6 agreed to by the Assembly inserts a clause adding new section 171AAA. New subsection 171AAA(a) refers to the “Magistrates’ Court 1989”. I have inserted the word ‘Act’ between ‘Court’ and ‘1989’.

The correction ensures there is no ambiguity in the reference to the act.
