Bakshi Kanwaljit SinghKANWALJIT SINGH BAKSHI (National): Thank you Mr Chair and I would like to acknowledge the previous speaker the Hon Jacqui Dean for taking three clauses which I was going to take. She has already addressed them so I'll take some other clause. I would also like to acknowledge Minister Sio for letting us know that Supplementary Order Paper 53 has been withdrawn otherwise I would have spoken on that.I would like to touch upon Part 19 Justices of the Peace Act 1957". Clause 57 states: "This Part amends the Justices of the Peace Act 1957 (the principal Act)." It has been a coincidence that I had a constituent who came to my office regarding this issue. He retired and wanted the word "retired" with the title "JP" because he was no more able to provide this service. By chance this bill was in the House and I discussed with him that there would be an amendment very soon in the Statutes Amendment Bill (No 2) which would give him that opportunity to have "(retired)" written with "JP". The reason was that he had had an accident and due to that he is suffering from dementia and he could not remember the things that were happening in the present. That's why he wanted to retire but there was no provision. I am very pleased that this bill is addressing that issue and somebody who has served less than 10 years can write as a "JP (retired)" because of this provision being ratified.The second part that I would like to touch upon is Part 21 "Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act 2006". I was part of the Government Administration Committee in my first two terms. It was very well chaired by the Hon Ruth Dyson and she remembers that every term we had this Plumbers Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act addressed in some manner. Again this term I have become part of the select committee the Governance and Administration Committee very well chaired by our colleague—what's his name?Hon Jacqui Dean: Brett Hudson.KANWALJIT SINGH BAKSHI: Brett Hudson—exactly. I am touching on this part where the board of drainlayers gasfitters and plumbers has got the right to impose some fees for the people who are doing this work. The ability to set the fees depends upon whether the notification is required under the prescribed terms and conditions of the licensee that operates the supervision. This is being done so that some money can be generated for the board for the running and that is going to help through this provision.The last part I would like to touch on is Part 22 "Policing Act 2008". Part 22 amends the Policing Act 2008. Clause 67 amends section 41 which relates to unclaimed property. I remember that this issue was raised some time ago—that there is property under the supervision of the police which nobody claims which does not have any value and which the police can dispose of in due course. So this part will be amending the Policing Act. Subsection 5 of section 41 is replaced. The new subsection provides that property that is of little or low monetary value may be given away as an alternative to being destroyed and that property that is not appropriate or practicable to sell may be destroyed or given away. That will reduce the burden on the police to take care of property that is not sellable or does not have much value.These are some of the things which are being addressed in this bill. We know that all the parties in the House are supportive because these are non-contentious issues. There is no opposition to this Statutes Amendment Bill. I commend it to the committee."
