I table a supplementary explanatory memorandum relating to the government amendments to be moved to this bill. The memorandum was circulated in the chamber on 23 June 2010. I move government amendment (1) on sheet CA250:
(1) Schedule 1, item 1, page 3 (lines 15 to 21), omit paragraphs (b) and (c) of the definition of how-to-vote card, substitute:
(b) that lists the names of 2 or more of the candidates or registered political parties in an election, with a number indicating the order of voting preference in conjunction with the names of 2 or more of the candidates or parties; or
(c) that otherwise directs or encourages the casting of votes in an election in a particular way, other than a card, handbill or pamphlet:
(i) that only relates to first preference votes; or
(ii) that only relates to last preference votes.
Question agreed to.
