Senator ELLISON (Minister for Justice and Customs) (8:11 PM) —I indicate that clause 43 will be opposed in the following terms:

Clause 43, page 41 (line 4) to page 42 (line 30), to be opposed.

Government amendment (9) repeals proposed clause 43, which allowed deferral of consideration of a motion to disallow a legislative instrument. The removal of this clause gives effect to recommendation No. 8 of the committee's report. The committee was of the view that the provision may be difficult to put into practice where there is a requirement to make complex amendments, particularly those requiring consultation, and that the current disallowance regime may be more suitable for resolving such matters.


The TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN —The question is that clause 43 stand as printed.

Question negatived.
