The Hon. J.A. DARLEY: I move:

Page 2—

Before line 8—Before the definition of 'Country Health SA' insert:

'Commissioner' means the Commissioners of Charitable Funds under the Public Charities Funds Act 1935;

Line 11 [clause 3, definition of 'Fund']—Delete 'of Charitable Funds'

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: The government is pleased to be able to support all the Hon. John Darley's amendments. The proposed amendments enable the Commissioners of Charitable Funds to continue to hold in trust the funds for the hydrotherapy pool until an alternative proposal is approved, to apply the funds to this proposal, to fulfil the other functions proposed for Country Health SA in relation to the advertising of an alternative proposal, and to return donations with interest.

The amendments are in keeping with the government's objectives for this bill, save that under these amendments the Commissioners of Charitable Funds have the significant responsibility and not Country Health SA. In the end, the same objective for the community is achieved, and the amendments are therefore supported by the government.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: The opposition also supports the Hon. John Darley's amendments.

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD: I advise that Family First also supports the Hon. Mr Darley's amendments, and is pleased with the outcome.
