Radhakrishnan PriyancaPRIYANCA RADHAKRISHNAN (Labour): Thank you Madam Chair. I rise to make a short contribution in support of this bill the Regulatory Systems (Housing) Amendment Bill (No 2) and I just wanted to pick up where the previous speaker Andrew Bayly left off actually because that's absolutely right. It does two things this particular bill. On one hand it makes things a little bit easier for community housing providers. And the second part of it makes things fairer for our senior citizens who could be a little bit vulnerable at that point in time to some of the contravening bits or contraventions—not even sure if that's a word but anyway—that this bill deals with.So as has been mentioned it tidies up bits and pieces. It's an omnibus bill. It clarifies and updates statutory provisions in the Act. So what that does actually is to make the purpose of the Act clearer. It addresses some of the duplications in the areas and the gaps as legislation has been tweaked over time and also between different pieces of legislation—just sort of reduces some of those duplications as well. That just means that this tidying up in effect keeps our regulatory system up to date and relevant. In terms of Part 1 reducing the administrative burden for community housing providers it also removes unnecessary well red tape in a sense but also compliance costs that are related to what they're currently having to go through with the current legislation. I just wanted to touch on one point that the previous speaker made which was some of the information that regulators have to collect at the moment particularly in terms of information about current and former board members. There's not a time frame for that which means that they could be required under current legislation to go back decades to find information about those that were on the governance bodies of the villages the board members who were involved over many decades. That's actually not necessary for the purposes that we're talking about today. So that's one of the things that will be cut out to ease the administrative burden as well.The other bit that I wanted to touch on was the fact that these might seem like very simple tweaks but when we're talking about a population that is ageing that is growing and that could be quite vulnerable some of the offences that are laid out in Part 2 and the changes that are proposed in this particular bill to increase the penalties of some of those offences around misleading—and I'll just read this bit: where a retirement village operator or promoter hasn't taken the practicable steps to ensure that an advertisement isn't misleading or deceptive. Actually if that isn't tweaked the ramifications for people who could be caught up in that could be quite severe. So as the Minister pointed out as well these are actually serious offences and we need to take them seriously and that's what this bill does. In addition to making things a little bit easier it makes things fairer for people as well. So I'm really happy to commend this bill to the House. Thank you.The question was put that the amendments set out on Supplementary Order Paper 395 in the name of the Hon Phil Twyford be agreed to.Amendments agreed to.Parts 1 and 2 Schedule and clauses 1 and 2 as amended agreed to.House resumed.The Chairperson reported the Regulatory Systems (Economic Development) Amendment Bill (No 2) with amendment the Regulatory Systems (Workforce) Amendment Bill (No 2) without amendment and the Regulatory Systems (Housing) Amendment Bill (No 2) with amendment.Report adopted.
