The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Alister Henskens LIB
“I indicate that the Opposition will support the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025. It appears to be a much more conventional miscellaneous bill than we sometimes see of very skinny bills that are presented to try to pump up the number of bills that are going through the Parliament. This does not seem to fall into that category, I am happy to say.”
Edmond Atalla ALP
“I speak in support of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025. The bill plays a vital role in preserving the clarity, precision and efficiency of the statute books here in New South Wales. For more than 40 years, statute law revision bills have been introduced routinely in Parliament—in fact, in most parliamentary sessions since 1984.”
David Saliba ALP
“I speak in support of the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025. The bill makes a range of amendments to various Acts and regulations. By way of background, progressing statute law revision bills is a longstanding way for Parliament to ensure the accuracy and quality of the statute book in New South Wales.”
Jenny Aitchison ALP
“I wish to particularly thank those who spoke to the bill, including the member for Wahroonga, the shadow Attorney General and Manager of Opposition Business. There was high praise from him for our bill and I am very excited to get that. I will pass that on to Minister Graham.”

The amendment in the Biosecurity Act 2015: clarifying extension periods for emergency orders (6 months) and control orders (5 years) could impact how long such orders remain. Also, The Water Management Act clarification: ensures the “order under section 49A/49B … in relation to a water management area or water source” wording may affect how specific orders apply — could matter for water resource regulation.
