PORT ADELAIDE GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL

			(February 8, 14, 16 - Act No. 10 of 1995)

			(August 24 - Bill withdrawn in Legislative Council)
CLASSIFICATION (PUBLICATIONS, FILMS AND COMPUTER GAMES) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is -
	(a) (b) (c) (d) (e)	establish a scheme complementary to the scheme for the classification of publications, films and computer games set out in the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act 1995 of the Commonwealth; and make provision for South Australian classification authorities that may, when satisfied that it is appropriate to do so in particular cases, make classification decisions with respect to publications, films or computer games (that will prevail in South Australia over any inconsistent decisions made under the Commonwealth Act); and make provision for the enforcement of classification decisions applying in South Australia; and prohibit the publication of certain publications, films and computer games; and provide protection against prosecution under laws relating to obscenity, indecency, offensive materials or blasphemy when classified publications, films or computer games are published in accordance with this measure.
			(July 27 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
COMMERCIAL TENANCIES BILL

			(September 7, October 26 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)

	(a) (b) (c) (d)	to provide for medical powers of attorney under which those who wish to do so may appoint agents to make decisions about their medical treatment when they are unable to make such decisions for themselves; to enable those who wish to do so to make an advance directive themselves about their medical treatment in subsequent circumstances when they are unable to make such decisions; to allow for the provision of palliative care, in accordance with proper standards, to the dying and to protect the dying from medical treatment that is intrusive, burdensome and futile; to consolidate the law relating to consent to medical treatment.
			(August 11, 25, September 6, October 19, 20, 25, 26, November 1 - Act No. 26 of 1995)
CONSUMER CREDIT (CREDIT PROVIDERS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to abolish the licensing of credit providers which is considered no longer relevant or necessary for the protection of the interests of consumers. A "negative licensing" regime is adopted and is established by the Bill.
			(October 12, 25, 26, 27, November 29, February 22, 23, March 7 - Act No. 8 of 1995)
CONSUMER CREDIT (SOUTH AUSTRALIA) BILL
	This purpose of this Bill and the Credit Administration Bill is to introduce a uniform Consumer Credit Code as law in South Australia. The Code has been the subject of many years of debate and negotiation between industry, consumer groups and Governments at both the State and Federal level.
	National uniform credit legislation will enable credit providers to adopt standard operating procedures, thereby reducing costs and, for the first time, the majority of credit providers, including banks, building societies and credit unions will be subject to the same credit laws for consumer lending.
			(March 8, 15, 16, April 12 - Act No. 34 of 1995)

			(July 26 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)

			(November 15, February 15 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CONVEYANCERS BILL

			(August 25, September 8, October 13 - Act No. 86 of 1994)
CO-OPERATIVES (ABOLITION OF CO-OPERATIVES ADVISORY COUNCIL) AMENDMENT BILL
	This purpose of this Bill is to amend the Co-operatives Act 1983, to remove the provisions establishing the Co-operatives Advisory Council and its functions.
	The Council was established to provide advice to the Minister principally in relation to promotion in forming, and improvement in operation of, co-operatives, and also model rules for co-operatives and proposed regulations under the Act.
	There are 88 registered co-operatives in South Australia, a few of which are in liquidation or are otherwise inactive. The number has been in decline in recent years and this is principally due to what were the larger co-operatives transferring their activities to companies. This has occurred primarily in the face of increased competition and an inability to raise sufficient funds within a co-operative structure to, for example, finance expansion.
	During the last term of office of members, no meetings of the council were convened. The objective of disestablishing the Council is consistent with Government policy to provide for statutory committees only where they are necessary.
			(February 23, March 15, 16 - Act No. 36 of 1995)
CORPORATIONS (SOUTH AUSTRALIA) (JURISDICTION) AMENDMENT BILL
	The object of this Bill is to amend the Corporations (South Australia) Act 1990 so as to -
	• • • •	confer jurisdiction on lower courts to hear civil matters arising under the Corporations Law and to enact consequential savings and transitional provisions; make an amendment that is consequential on the Corporate Law Reform Act 1992 of the Commonwealth; make an amendment that is consequential on the proposed Evidence Act 1994 of the Commonwealth; make a minor amendment to clarify the powers of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions in relation to offences under the former companies and securities co-operative scheme laws (the Companies (South Australia) Code and related laws).
			(November 30, February 7, 8 - Act No. 6 of 1995)
CREDIT ADMINISTRATION BILL
	This Bill is the companion legislation to the Consumer Credit (South Australia) Bill 1995. The Consumer Credit Code does not address matters pertaining to the licensing and discipline of credit providers, but leaves this to the decision of individual States.
	The Bill proposes a negative licensing system and puts in place a disciplinary regime for credit providers.
	The Bill also establishes a fund, pursuant to section 106 of the Code, to which money derived from the imposition of civil penalties will be paid. Moneys standing to the credit of the fund will be accessible for two purposes, namely, towards the cost of administering the fund and for any other purpose approved by the Minister.
			(March 8, 15, 16 - Act No. 33 of 1995)
CRIMINAL LAW (SENTENCING) (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to make miscellaneous amendments to the Criminal Law (Sentencing) Act.
	Section 18A is amended to allow for the imposition of one sentence for all, or some, of the offences for which a defendant is convicted on the one complaint or information.
	Section 19 has been substantially changed. This section sets limitations on the sentences that can be imposed by the Magistrates Court. Only a Magistrate will be able to impose a sentence of imprisonment. The Court (however constituted) will not be able to impose a sentence of imprisonment that is greater than Division 5 (2 years) or a fine of more than $120,000 (twice a division 1 fine). If greater sentences are warranted (and available) for any particular summary offence or minor indictable offence the matter will be referred to the District Court.
	Section 39 is amended to provide that a defendant who enters into a bond in lieu of being sentenced will only have to appear before the court for sentencing for the original offence (in the event of breaching the bond) if the terms of the bond imposed by the court so stipulate.
	Section 42 is amended to make it clear that a court can only impose a bond without any condition that the defendant appear for sentence, or conviction if the court does not impose any other conditions under section 42 of the Act and a consequential amendment is made to section 58.
	Section 45 is substituted. The old section required a court to find out whether a community service placement was available for a defendant before he or she could be required to perform a community service. The new section simply obliges the CEO of the Department of Correctional Services to notify the sentencing court if a placement is not available because of the defendant’s infirmity, in which case the court may require the defendant to appear before it for further sentencing.
	Section 57 is amended. It provides that an inferior court can either sentence for an offence before it and remand the offender to a superior court to be dealt with for breach of a condition of a bond or it can remand the offender to a superior court for sentencing and to be dealt with for the breach of a bond. The amendments also recognise that the Environment, Resources and Development Court has a criminal jurisdiction. The matter of the criminal jurisdiction of that court is under review, but this amendment is necessary for so long as it does have such a jurisdiction.
			(July 27 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CRIMINAL LAW (UNDERCOVER OPERATIONS) BILL
	This Bill authorises the use of undercover operations during criminal investigations. Undercover operations (which may include conduct that is apart from the Bill illegal) of which the intended purpose is to provide persons engaging or about to engage in serious criminal behaviour an opportunity to manifest that behaviour or to provide other evidence of that behaviour may be approved by a police officer of or above the rank of Superintendent (a senior police officer) for the purpose of gathering evidence of behaviour involving the commission of an indictable offence, an offence against the Controlled Substances Act 1984 or certain other listed offences (serious criminal behaviour).
	Before giving approval, the officer is required -
	• •	to suspect, on reasonable grounds, that persons (whose identity may - but need not - be known to the officer) are engaging or about to engage in serious criminal behaviour of the kind to which the proposed operations relate; and to be satisfied on reasonable grounds:
		- - -		that the ambit of the proposed operations is not more extensive than could reasonably be justified in view of the nature and extent of the suspected serious criminal behaviour; and that the means are proportionate to the end (i.e. that the operations are justified by the social harm of the serious criminal behaviour against which they are directed); and that the operations are properly designed to provide persons engaging or about to engage in serious criminal behaviour an opportunity to manifest that behaviour or to provide other evidence of that behaviour, without undue risk that persons without a predisposition to serious criminal behaviour will be encouraged into serious criminal behaviour that they would otherwise have avoided.
			(June 6, 7 - Act No. 46 of 1995)
CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION (FELONIES AND MISDEMEANOURS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill seeks to abolish the classification of offences as felonies and misdemeanours. The distinction is causing anomalies and unnecessary complexities in the criminal law.
			(August 4, 10, 11 - Act No. 59 of 1994)
CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION (MENTAL IMPAIRMENT) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill deals with an issue which arises when a person suffering from a mental illness comes before the Courts of the State. In general terms, there are two major issues in this situation - the law concerning what is known as "fitness to plead" and the law dealing with what is generally known as the "defence of insanity". The rules about when a person is or is not "fit to plead" have not caused great difficulty and are preserved in this Bill. The same, however, cannot be said of the consequences of being found unfit to plead.
	In general terms, the Bill is intended to achieve the following reforms -
	1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.	It defines "mental illness" using the words chosen for the purpose by the High Court. In particular, the definition includes severe personality disorders for the purposes of ascertaining criminal responsibility and to encompass the situation in which the accused is unable to control his or her conduct due to mental illness; It defines the roles of judge and jury; It isolates the question of fitness to plead or mental impairment from other questions which may be at issue in the case so that the judge and jury may concentrate on the issues affecting those fundamental questions; It ensures that if the question of fitness to plead or mental impairment is raised, the court must first be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence available that the accused actually committed the acts in question; It empowers a court which finds that the accused is unfit to plead or was not criminally responsible (due to mental impairment) to make the most appropriate disposition with respect to each accused, including detention or a community based treatment programme; It requires a court to set a limit to the exposure of the accused to any supervision order made, the limit being fixed in relation to the penalty which would have been applicable had the accused been found guilty of the offence with which he or she is charged; It retains the 1992 reforms with some tidying up and clarification of the roles and responsibilities of those participating in the system who have legal responsibilities in relation to such people.
			(August 3, September 6, 8, July 18 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
EDUCATION (BASIC SKILLS TESTING) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to put constraints on how the results of the "basic skill test" may be used.
			(July 26 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS (ACCOUNT KEEPING FEES) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to prevent banks, building societies, credit unions and other financial institutions from charging an account keeping fee in respect of accounts which do not keep a defined minimum balance.
			(June 7 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
HISTORY TRUST OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA (LEASING OF PROPERTY) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to enable the History Trust of South Australia, with the consent of the Minister and on terms and conditions approved by the Minister, to make the constitutional museum, better known as Old Parliament House, available for the purposes of the Parliament.
			(June 8, July 6 - Act No. 61 of 1995)
LAND AGENTS BILL
	This Bill has four key features. These are firstly, a recognition of the legitimate public interest in the continued imposition of education and probity standards for agents, but a simplification of the related bureaucracy. Secondly, the de-regulation of the controls on those employed by agents, with a compensating statutory duty of proper management and supervision of the business of an agent upon the corporation. Thirdly, the removal of anti-competitive restrictions on the licensing of corporate agents and fourthly the provision of mechanisms for the involvement of industry in the active enforcement of the duties of land agents including the monitoring of trust accounts.
			(August 25, September 6, 8, October 11, 13 - Act No. 90 of 1994)
LAND AND BUSINESS (SALE AND CONVEYANCING) BILL
	This Bill contains a number of important provisions which regulate the conduct of persons dealing with the transfer of land. These include provisions relating to the conduct of the business of a land agent and provisions dealing with contracts for the sale of land or businesses.
			(August 25, September 8, October 13 - Act No. 85 of 1994)
LAND VALUERS BILL
	This Bill introduces a system of "negative licensing" that provides an effective regime for the protection of consumers without the significant expense a traditional positive licensing regime would involve. The Bill replaces the existing licensing system with provisions aimed at protecting persons from the unlawful, negligent or unfair practices of land valuers.
	The Bill also provides for a code of conduct to be developed with the Trade Practices Commissioner.
			(August 25, September 8, October 13 - Act No. 91 of 1994)
LIQUOR LICENSING (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill makes a number of amendments to the Liquor Licensing Act 1985. The Bill grants licensees the power to bar patrons from licensed premises, on unreasonable grounds, for a period of up to three months. Minors are prohibited from entering certain licensed premises after midnight, and a person’s knowledge, experience and skills will be taken into account by the licensing authority when determining whether a person is fit and proper to hold a licence or to be approved under the Act.
	The Bill also makes it an offence for certain persons to sell or supply liquor to an intoxicated person and rectifies an existing deficiency in the Act by making provision for service of notices or other documents on persons who are not licensees but are covered in the existing legislation.
			(March 22, April 4, 6 - Act No. 31 of 1995)
MAGISTRATES COURT (TENANCIES DIVISION) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of the Bill is to establish a new division of the Magistrates Court. The Tenancies Division will provide a forum for the hearing of matters arising under the Retail Shop Leases Bill 1994 and it is also anticipated that the Tenancies Division will replace the existing Residential Tenancies Tribunal as part of a review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1978. In addition, the Tenancies Division will acquire jurisdiction to hear claims arising from tenancies granted for residential purposes by the South Australian Housing Trust which are currently heard and determined by the Supreme Court of South Australia. The Bill provides that the new Division will be able to be referred to as the "Tenancies Tribunal".
			(November 30, February 21, March 8 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
MISREPRESENTATION (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to bring the penalties in this Act into line with those imposed for misrepresentations under the Fair Trading Act 1987, and to make a number of minor housekeeping amendments.
	It is proposed in the Bill that defendants found guilty of an offence will be liable to a maximum penalty of $20,000 in the case of individuals and $100,000 in the case of a body corporate. These penalties are the same as those provided under the Fair Trading Act 1987, and are far more appropriate than the $500 penalty which currently exists in the Act.
			June 6, July 4, 18, 20 - Act No. 62 of 1995)
MOTOR VEHICLES (CONDITIONAL REGISTRATION) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill will allow for the conditional registration of left-hand drive vehicles that were manufactured before 1 January 1974 and are owned by financial members of recognised classic car clubs.
			(October 13, 25, 26, 27 - Act No. 76 of 1994)
MOTOR VEHICLES (LEARNERS’ PERMITS AND PROBATIONARY LICENCES) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill seeks to vary the penalties for failing to carry a learner’s permit and a probationary driver’s licence. This requirement is considered necessary as an aid to the police in the enforcement of learner and probationary conditions.
			(August 3, 9 - Act No. 65 of 1994)
PARLIAMENTARY SUPERANNUATION (COMMENCEMENT OF RETIREMENT PENSIONS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to remove the entitlement to a pension until the age of sixty years, except for the first three years after the person leaves Parliament.
			(October 12 - Second reading negatived, Legislative Council)
PLUMBERS, GASFITTERS AND ELECTRICIANS BILL
	This Bill establishes a new system for the licensing of contractors and the registration of workers in the plumbing, gasfitting and electrical trades. Persons carrying on these businesses will be required to be fit and proper persons and will be assessed on their business knowledge, experience and financial resources before being granted a licence.
			(March 9, April 4, 7 - Act No. 25 of 1995)
POLLUTION OF WATERS BY OIL AND NOXIOUS SUBSTANCES (CONSISTENCY WITH COMMONWEALTH) AMENDMENT BILL

	The purpose of this Bill is to amend the South Australian Office of Financial Supervision Act 1992 to change the approach towards ensuring probity in the financial activities of board members and employees of the South Australia Office of Financial Supervision (SAOFS).
	The present approach prohibits persons being board members or employees where "that person or an associate of that person" has a substantial financial interest in a financial institution. The combination of a broad (but unexceptional) definition of "associate" and a wide ambit of financial interests made this approach unworkable.

It is also arguably contrary to a number of international agreements to which Australia is a signatory. The most specific of these is the UN Declaration on Violence Against Women. The practice is also contrary to Article 24(3) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and it is that convention which places an obligation on Australia to address the practice.

SUMMARY OFFENCES (INDECENT OR OFFENSIVE MATERIAL) AMENDMENT BILL
