Select Committee on Statutes Amendment (Repeal of Sex Work Offences) Bill

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:55): I move:

That it be an instruction to the Select Committee on Statutes Amendment (Repeal of Sex Work Offences) Bill that the committee consist of six members and that the quorum of members necessary to be present at all meetings of the committee be fixed at four members.

This comes about with the departure of the Hon. David Ridgway, now happily ensconced in London. The composition of this committee was one originally that reflected the conscience vote nature of this matter, rather than the party line vote of this matter. My understanding is that the Hon. John Darley would be a worthy addition to reflect both the will of the council and indeed bring much-needed gender balance and perspective to this committee. With those few words, I commend the motion.

Motion carried.

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:57): I move:

That the Hon. John Darley be appointed to the select committee.

Motion carried.
