I move government amendment (1):

(1)    Clause 39, page 31 (line 13), omit subclause (2), substitute:

        (2)    A nomination, or a withdrawal of a nomination, must be in writing.

I am substituting for Minister Coonan. The proposed amendment implements the Senate committee’s recommendation that consent for a person to act as a nominee can only be provided in writing. The effect of the proposed amendment will be that the relevant account holder must nominate a person in writing before that person can either apply to have a number listed on the register or consent to receive a telemarketing call on a number that is on the register.

Question agreed to.
