Criminal Procedure (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 21 June 2018.)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (18:12): I will not speak for long on this and I indicate that we will not have any questions during the committee stage. We thank the Attorney-General's office for the briefing that was provided. These are matters that need fixing up, essentially. It is in relation to previous amendments to legislation that were made under the Labor government that at the time had consequences that could not have been foreseen that have emerged, and we are happy to support the government. We think this is a sensible way to deal with those unforeseen consequences that have since emerged.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (18:13): I thank the honourable member for his indication of support for the bill.

Bill read a second time.
