Business Statement

Next week, the House will consider legislation under urgency to complete the final stages of the Government’s 100-day plan. Legislation to be considered will include the first readings of the Road User Charges (Light Electric RUC Vehicles) Amendment Bill, the Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Amendment Bill, the Gangs Legislation Amendment Bill, the Courts (Remote Participation) Amendment Bill, the fast-track consenting bill, and the Business Payment Practices Act Repeal Bill; and the remaining stages of the Legal Services Amendment Bill and the Land Transport Management (Repeal of Regional Fuel Tax) Amendment Bill. There will also be two maiden statements during the week.

Could the Leader of the House please tell us when we can expect a piece of legislation to go through a full and proper process, with no urgency, no instruction to the select committee, and, hopefully, with a regulatory impact statement being published?

Some of the legislation I’ve just read out is exactly that; the fast-track consenting bill will go to a committee, the Courts (Remote Participation) Amendment Bill will go to a committee, the Gangs Legislation Amendment Bill will go to a committee, and the Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Amendment Bill will go to a committee. This is a very hard-working Government—we’ve got a lot on.

Will they be going to a committee for a full time without instruction from the House?

That will be over to the House at the time.
