House debates Bills
Parliamentary Service Amendment (Freedom of Information) Bill 2013; Third Reading
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the House
9:32 am
by leave—I move:
That this bill be now read a third time.
Ms Anna Burke Speaker
The member for Scullin is very cheekily trying to get my attention.
Harry Jenkins Scullin, Australian Labor Party
I thank the Speaker and I indicate to the Leader of the House that I will be very, very short. Can I thank the executive government for bringing forward this bill. I think it is very important. On this occasion I find myself in agreement with the member for Mackellar—I will go and have myself reassessed! I think the principles involved are very important and I congratulate all those who were involved in rectifying this oversight.
Ms Anna Burke Speaker
I also thank the member for Scullin for his work on this issue.
Question agreed to.
Bill read a third time.
