LAND AGENTS (REGISTRATION) AMENDMENT BILL
Adjourned debate on second reading.
The Hon. IAN GILFILLAN: The Democrats support the second reading of this bill. The only comments that I seek to make will echo those which I intend to make when we debate the Conveyancers (Registration) Amendment Bill. For the sake of convenience and to save the time of the Council, I will leave those comments until we deal with that bill because they are more specifically directed towards that legislation. In summary, we accept the arguments for amending the definition of `legal practitioner' and distinguishing between those convicted of summary offences and indictable offences of dishonesty. With those observations, I indicate our support for the second reading.
