Consideration in committee.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: I move:

That the Legislative Council's amendment be agreed to.

It is with pleasure that we receive the Fair Trading (Gift Cards) Amendment Bill 2018 with an amendment from the Legislative Council. Essentially, this is to provide for a review of this new type of legislation. It is pioneering in South Australia. We are happy to accept the amendment.

I am pleased to say that we have even had a letter of compliment from a federal minister because there has been some discussion at the national level to provide some harmonised law in relation to this area across the nation, but we got a bit impatient here—we wanted to get on with it. We are very pleased that this has occurred and we welcome the consideration, with the amendment, by those in the other place.

Mr PICTON: Very quickly, I signal the opposition's support and note that we support that the Legislative Council has introduced a review clause, which we think is appropriate.

Motion carried.
