Second Reading Speech
Mr Williams (Attorney-General)I move:
That this bill be now read a second time.
The Legislative Instruments (Transitional Provisions and Consequential Amendments) Bill 2003 deals with a number of consequential and transitional issues to ensure the smooth introduction of the regime set out in the Legislative Instruments Bill 2003 that I have just introduced.
This bill preserves the status quo for non-legislative instruments by making consequential amendments to the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
The bill also makes a number of consequential amendments to other acts to ensure that they operate consistently with the Legislative Instruments Bill 2003.
I commend the bill to the House and I present the explanatory memorandum to the bill.
Debate (on motion by Mr Rudd) adjourned.
