Introduction and First Reading

Received from the House of Assembly and read a first time.

Second Reading

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (17:32): I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

I seek leave to have the second reading explanation inserted in Hansard without my reading it.

Leave granted.

A Supply Bill will be necessary for the first three months of the 2015-16 financial year until the Budget has passed through the parliamentary stages and the Appropriation Bill 2015 receives assent.

In the absence of special arrangements in the form of the Supply Acts, there would be no parliamentary authority for expenditure between the commencement of the new financial year and the date on which assent is given to the main Appropriation Bill.

The amount being sought under this Bill is $3,291 million.

Clause 1 is formal.

Clause 2 provides relevant definitions.

Clause 3 provides for the appropriation of up to $3,291 million.

Debate adjourned on motion of Hon. J.M.A. Lensink.


At 17:33 the council adjourned until Wednesday 13 May 2015 at 14:15.
