Hansard debates

Mr JENNINGS (Special Minister of State) — I move:

That the bill be now read a second time.

Incorporated speech as follows:

The bill before the house, the Statute Law Repeals Bill 2014, is a regular mechanism for ensuring that Victoria's statute book remains up to date.

The bill repeals principal acts which have no ongoing operation.

By repealing redundant acts, the bill will help to ensure that the Victorian statute book is maintained in an orderly manner so that it remains relevant, up to date and accessible to the Victorian community.

I commend the bill to the house.

Debate adjourned for Mr RICH-PHILLIPS (South Eastern Metropolitan) on motion of Ms Wooldridge.

Debate adjourned until Thursday, 19 February.
