The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Abigail Boyd GRN
“Keen observers will be aware that I spoke in debate on the Automatic Mutual Recognition Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 on 18 February. To be frank, I was filibustering. I made that very clear at the time because I was working with the Minister’s office to come to a point of mutual understanding on what the bill does.”
Peter Primrose ALP
“When the Deputy Government Whip gave me the opportunity to express my strong support and endorsement of the Automatic Mutual Recognition Legislation Amendment Bill 2024, I could not resist. All members who have spoken in debate on this bill have outlined its important aspects and why it should be supported by the House.”
Rod Roberts IND
“I contribute to debate on the Automatic Mutual Recognition Legislation Amendment Bill 2024. I listened to the contribution of my friend the Hon. Peter Primrose and I have trouble disagreeing with a lot of the things he said. I find it very hard to disagree with him at times. The need to reduce red tape and costs is imperative to enabling business to operate nowadays.”
Cameron Murphy ALP
“I make a brief contribution to debate on the Automatic Mutual Recognition Legislation Amendment Bill 2024. I was trying to think of a Dale Kerrigan quote to follow the last couple of speakers. I think the appropriate quote might be, "He loved the serenity, but I think Dad just loved the word.”
Mark Buttigieg ALP
“Scott Farlow, Ms Abigail Boyd, the Hon. Peter Primrose, the Hon. Rod Roberts and the Hon. Cameron Murphy. Although the bill makes a range of minor amendments to various Acts, it remains a critical piece of legislation. The Automatic Mutual Recognition [AMR] scheme provides a quicker, cheaper and easier pathway for already skilled workers to enter New South Wales for work.”

Automatic Mutual Recognition Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG, Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading — 2024-11-20
This will further expand the operation of the automatic mutual recognition [AMR] scheme in New South Wales that operates alongside the mutual recognition scheme to allow skilled and qualified workers to move between States. The bill will introduce important amendments to five Acts within the Better Regulation and Fair Trading portfolio to remove legislative barriers hindering the uptake of AMR by interstate workers, while ensuring consumer protection measures apply equally to New South Wales licence holders and interstate licence holders working in New South Wales.
