What different members said when this bill was debated:
Aileen MacDonald LIB
“The Opposition supports the Better Regulation, Fair Trading and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024. As already noted in the other place, the bill proposes various basic and administrative updates to a range of Acts to modernise how things are done and, as some would say, bring legislation into the twenty‑first century.”
Cate Faehrmann GRN
“I support the Better Regulation, Fair Trading and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024. The Greens support modernising legislation. This moment of consensus in this Chamber tonight is an incredible thing. The bill updates references in Acts to things like lithographs and computer diskettes. That is very important.”
Anthony D'Adam ALP
“As the House has heard, the bill will implement 16 miscellaneous reforms that amend various statutes across the Better Regulation and Fair Trading portfolio, as well as the Gaming and Racing portfolio.”
