STATUTES AMENDMENT (DELEGATE MINISTERS) BILL

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 21 June 2007. Page 520.)

Mr HANNA (Mitchell) (11:00): I move:

That Private Members Business, Bills, Orders of the Day No. 5 be discharged.

I move this on the basis that this bill is consequent upon the Constitution (Number of Ministers) Amendment Bill which was voted down on the last Thursday of sitting (25 October) after the Deputy Leader of the Opposition indicated that the Liberal opposition would not support the bill, notwithstanding that it is Liberal Party policy and the publicly announced policy of the Leader of the Opposition.

Motion carried.

Order of the day discharged.
