Conference

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (14:18): I have to report that the managers have been to the conference on the bill, which was managed on behalf of the House of Assembly by the Treasurer (Hon. J.J. Snelling), the Minister for Finance (Hon. M.F. O'Brien), the Minister for Police (Hon. Jennifer Rankine), Ms Chapman and the Hon. I.F. Evans. They there received from the managers on behalf of the House of Assembly the bill and the following resolution adopted by that house that the disagreement to amendment No. 2 of the Legislative Council be insisted on. Thereupon the managers of the two houses conferred together but no agreement was reached.

The PRESIDENT: As no recommendation from the conference has been made, the council, pursuant to standing order 338, must either resolve not to further insist on its amendments or lay the bill aside.
