Statutes Amendment (Attorney-General's Portfolio) Bill

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading (resumed on motion).

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light) (15:41): I believe I have the call. Prior to lunch, I was about to finish my contribution. There is not much more I can add to what has already been mentioned by the various speakers in this debate. I reaffirm that issues of justice should be a major priority for this chamber, and certainly this is one of those bills that improves our justice system. With those few comments, I recommend the support of this chamber for the bill.

The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services) (15:42): I thank members for their thoughtful contributions, particularly the members for Heysen, King, Gibson, Torrens, Davenport and Light, and I apologise if I missed anybody. I commend the bill to the house.

Bill read a second time.
