I am advised there has been one amendment, a government amendment, since we last considered this bill. The amendment updates the bill to be consistent with the current remote meetings provisions of the Acts Interpretation Act 1915, as amended by the Statutes Amendment (COVID-19 Permanent Measures) Act 2021. The amendment allows classes of meetings or transactions to be excluded from the operation of the provision by regulation.

MAHER Legislative Council The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I rise to indicate support for this measure. It has been explained to us as a requirement as a consequence of some of the changes we have made to meetings and transactions during the management of the pandemic. Motion carried.
