The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Maryanne Stuart ALP
“I speak on the Better Regulation Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill 2024. I am proud that the Minns Labor Government will assist the people of New South Wales by simplifying some of the language in legislation. It has listened to stakeholders and is taking action.”
Donna Davis ALP
“I speak in support of the Better Regulation Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill 2024. I commend the Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading for bringing the bill before the House.”
Greg Warren ALP
“I am delighted to make a brief contribution to debate on the Better Regulation Legislation Amendment (Miscellaneous) Bill 2024. The bill does not make overly controversial or complicated changes, but it is a good indication that our Ministers are progressively reviewing and modernising legislation to make it fit for purpose. The bill makes a number of changes.”
“I will address a number of points made during the debate. The member for Pittwater described the bill as "moving the deckchairs on the Titanic". In fact, it is quite the opposite. That comment demonstrates a misunderstanding of these measures, and it is overtly simplistic to dismiss these amendments out of hand. It does help to actually read and understand something before speaking about it.”
