Lady Kintore Cottages (Trust Property) Amendment Bill

Referred to Select Committee

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (15:45): In accordance with standing order 325, I bring up the final report of the select committee, together with minutes of proceedings.

Report received.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (15:45): I move:

That the report be noted.

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:45): The opposition members on the committee, the member for Adelaide and I, were very pleased to be participants in this committee. We resisted the temptation to travel to the Vatican to verify the history of the legislation, but we are very satisfied that it was a thorough investigation, with the advertising of the committee's proceedings being put out there and no submissions being received. We are more than satisfied that this is a piece of legislation that will benefit the people of South Australia.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (15:46): I thank the member for Morphett for his kind words and great efforts, along with the member for Adelaide, on the committee. The committee did not meet for a long time but, my goodness, those times were memorable. We had a good time—we had a very good time.

The Hon. J.M. Rankine: A sweet time.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: It was a sweet time.

The Hon. J.M. Rankine: A short time but a sweet time.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: Yes, a short time but a very sweet time. It was great.

The Hon. T.R. Kenyon: Are you misleading the house?

The Hon. J.R. RAU: No, I'm not. In fact, we met for such a short time because of the thorough way in which the members had prepared themselves that we did not even finish all the biscuits. But it was good, it was great, and I do thank the member for Morphett.

Motion carried.

Third Reading

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (15:47): I move:

That this bill be now read a third time.

Bill read a third time and passed.
