Electoral (Accountability and Integrity) Amendment Bill

Final Stages

Consideration in committee of message No. 202 from the House of Assembly.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I move:

That the House of Assembly's amendments be agreed to.

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS: I am not aware of what the amendments are. Could the government speak to them?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: I apologise. I had understood that all members of the different groupings were informed of the amendments. There was one amendment made in the lower house to correct a typographical error where it said $8 and it should have said $5.50 in relation to the electoral bill. The other amendments are those that were in erased type, that originated in this house as money clauses, and need to come back here as amendments to do that.

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS: So there is nothing in addition that had not been previously agreed to?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: No. It is the one typographical error—the number was wrong—and those money clauses that were in erased type.

Motion carried.
