Web Criminal Assets Confiscation (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill (Bills) - 18/06/2024
The Hon. C. BONAROS: I have a point of clarification. I think it has been clarified, but we did pass some laws recently in relation to unexplained wealth and I just wanted to confirm that this bill and that bill are not interrelated at all in terms of their scope.

The Hon. C. BONAROS (11:25): I rise also to speak on this bill. I am a little bit more cynical than my friend the Hon. Rob Simms, especially when it comes to the timing of this bill, I must say.
