Intervention Orders (Prevention of Abuse) (Recognition of National Domestic Violence Orders) Amendment Bill

Second Reading

Adjourned debate on second reading.

(Continued from 29 November 2016.)

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (11:52): I would like to thank members for their second reading contributions on this bill. There has been broad support for this bill and a desire to have it dealt with quickly. I note that there have been some amendments filed and other amendments perhaps foreshadowed, so I propose that we have more discussions at clause 1 when we get into the substance of the committee work on this bill, which we will do at another time. We are keen to progress the bill through the second reading stage and into committee. I foreshadow that we will adjourn the bill once it has been read a second time.

Bill read a second time.
