The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Suzanne Orr ALP
“I move: That this bill be agreed to in principle. I am pleased to present the Environment Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 to the Assembly. The bill makes statute law revision amendments to ACT legislation within the portfolio responsibility of the Environment, Planning and Sustainable Development Directorate, which I will refer to as “the directorate” from here on.”
Jeremy Hanson LIB
“I only intend to speak briefly to this bill on behalf of Ms Castley, who is unwell today. The opposition have reviewed the legislation, and we have no particular concerns with it. We do, of course, have concerns about some of the problems that came to pass, but not with the fact that they are now being resolved.”
Shane Rattenbury GRN
“I rise to speak in support of the Environment Legislation Amendment Bill 2025 on behalf of the Greens. This is an omnibus bill enabling minor legislative amendments to support the work of the government in the climate change, environment, energy and water portfolios.”
