LANDLORD AND TENANT (DISTRESS FOR RENT—HEALTH RECORDS EXEMPTION) AMENDMENT BILL

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 30 April 2008. Page 2520.)

The Hon. M. PARNELL (23:16): My contribution will be brief. This is a sensible piece of legislation: it fixes a situation that most people would find untenable, that is, that a person's medical records can be withheld as distress for rent. It is a sensible bill that all members should support and the Greens are happy to do so.

Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. R.D. Lawson.
