Statutes Amendment (Budget Measures) Bill

Committee Stage

In committee.

Bill taken through the committee without amendment.

Third Reading

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education) (17:08): I move:

That this bill be now read a third time.

In moving that the bill be read a third time, I am very grateful to the people who have contributed to the discussion. I reflected on the member for Lee's second reading contribution last week. I only do so again now to reiterate that I did say some nice things, and I encourage him to continue with the whimsy when he makes those contributions—I enjoyed that.

I commend the opposition for their speedy passage through the committee stage of this process, and I look forward to seeing the bill hopefully supported, with the majority of members endorsing the third reading this afternoon and then, in due course, in the Legislative Council. I commend the bill to the house.

Bill read a third time and passed.
