I present a supplementary explanatory memorandum to the bill.

Smile!

You guys! I don’t normally have a cheer squad on the other side. I ask leave of the Main Committee to move government amendments (1) and (2) as circulated together.

Leave granted.

I move government amendments (1) and (2) as circulated together:

(1)    Schedule 1, item 3, page 4 (line 9), omit “that Division”, substitute “that Act”.

(2)    Schedule 1, item 3, page 4 (line 22), omit “that Division”, substitute “that Act”.

The amendments that I am moving today relate to the Therapeutic Goods Amendment (Poisons Standard) Bill 2008, which I introduced on 14 February. The changes proposed to that bill are of a technical nature. The changes will correct a technical oversight and make it clear that all requirements, and not just the registration requirements, of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 are deemed to have been met by the poisons standard and amendments made to it. I commend the bill and the amendments to the House.

Question agreed to.

Bill, as amended, agreed to.

Ordered that the bill be reported to the House with amendments.
