SUPPLY BILL

Introduction and First Reading

Received from the House of Assembly and read a first time.

Second Reading

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (21:28): I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

This is, of course, the Supply Bill, which appropriates an amount from the Consolidated Account to enable the functions of the state to continue until the budget is passed. Members would be aware that the budget is due to be brought down in September, so the Supply Bill is necessary to enable the functions of government to continue until that time. I look forward to speedy debate on this bill so that it can be passed and proclaimed before the end of the financial year.

Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. J.M.A. Lensink.

At 21:29 the council adjourned until Thursday 24 June 2010 at 11:00.
