Consideration in committee. The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly The Hon. J.R. RAU: I move: That the Legislative Council's amendments be agreed to. I indicate that whilst there are a couple of aspects of the returned bill which are deeply regrettable—in particular and most significantly the requirement that there should be a break in trade at some point in time to enable people the opportunity of sobering up—overall, were I to dwell upon that, I would not see the sunshine elsewhere. I think we always have to look for the sunshine rather than look at the rainclouds. I am going to look at the sunshine and say I will accept. Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: I indicate, from the opposition's point of view, that we welcome the return of the bill with the amendments and thank those in another place for their contribution in the debates for the improvement of the reforms in relation to this area. I like sunlight, too; it is a great disinfectant. It is a pity the government did not exercise it more often in relation to the transparency of their government. Nevertheless, we are pleased to note that the government have recognised the significance of the reforms that need to pass this parliament with improvement. Motion carried.
