Senator Brown to move on the next day of sitting:
That the Senate—
(a) commends Taiwan for its contributions to international health, particularly in assisting in developing countries;
(b) acknowledges the need for a fully integrated global healthcare system and recognises the appropriateness of Taiwan's cooperation with World Health Organization (WHO) activities;
(c) recognises that Taiwan's participation as an observer in the WHO would be consistent with a fully-integrated global healthcare system; and
(d) looks forward to Taiwan's participation in the World Health Assembly as an observer, through consensus of all members.
Senator TCHEN (Victoria) (9.31 a.m.)—On behalf of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances, I give notice that 15 sitting days after today I shall move:
That the Excise Amendment Regulations 2004 (No. 1), as contained in Statutory Rules 2004 No. 27 and made under the Excise Act 1901, be disallowed.
I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard a short summary of the committee's concerns with these regulations.
Leave granted.
The summary read as follows—
Excise Amendment Regulations 2004 (No. 1) Statutory Rules 2004 No. 27
Schedules 1 and 3 are expressed to commence retrospectively, from 18 September 2003. The Explanatory Statement provides an assurance, referring to subsection 48(2) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901, that this retrospective commencement confers a benefit on persons affected by the amendments. The Committee seeks advice regarding the arrangements, if any are needed, for providing a refund of duty claimable as a result of these amendments and, if so, how producers will be informed of this.
Senator TCHEN (Victoria) (9.32 a.m.)—On behalf of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances, I give notice that 15 sitting days after today I shall move:
That Temporary Order No. 4 of 2003, made under subsection 43(8) of the Fisheries Management Act 1991, be disallowed.
I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard a short summary of the committee's concerns with this order.
Leave granted.
The summary read as follows—
Temporary Order No. 4 of 2003, made under the Fisheries Management Act 1991
This Order does not refer to the full title of the Act under which it is made, namely the Fisheries Management Act 1991. The Order refers only to `the Management Act'. Whilst the full title of the Act is provided in the accompanying Explanatory Statement, it is preferable for this also to be done in the actual instrument.
