ELECTRICITY (COMPENSATION FOR BLACKOUTS) AMENDMENT BILL

Bill taken through committee without amendment.

Third Reading

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (17:54): I move:

That this bill be now read a third time.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (17:54): I indicate that the government will oppose the third reading.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (17:54): As I said in my second reading contribution, while we had sympathy for what the Hon. Mr Darley was trying to achieve, at that point it was unlikely that we would be supporting the bill at the third reading. I regret to inform the Hon. Mr Darley this evening that we will not be supporting his bill.

Third reading negatived.
