SYNOPSIS OF LEGISLATION
___________

ADELAIDE CEMETERIES AUTHORITY BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to provide a consolidated legislative framework for the operations of the Enfield General Cemetery Trust, which will become the Adelaide Cemeteries Authority under the new legislation.
	The Bill will ensure that the Authority continues to provide appropriate funeral and cemetery related services to the community and sets in place an appropriate commercial management structure.
			(October 5, 12, May 15, 16 - Act No. 25 of 2001)
ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE TRUST (COMPOSITION OF TRUST) AMENDMENT BILL
	The Adelaide Festival Centre Trust Act requires that there be a representative of the Adelaide Festival Board on the Trust among the total of eight trustees.
	Since the creation of the Adelaide Festival Corporation in 1998, the Adelaide Festival Board no longer exists. Consequently, since that time, there has not been a representative of the Adelaide Festival Board on the Adelaide Festival Centre Trust.
	Furthermore, were this representative position to continue, a member of the Trust representing the Adelaide Festival Corporation could be subject to a conflict of interest, due to the nature of the operation of the two organisations, and the degree of autonomy now existing.
	The Bill amends section 6 of the Act to remove that representative position of the Adelaide Festival Centre Trust, while retaining the total number of trustees at eight.
	The Bill also makes consequential amendments to the Act.
			(October 5, 12, 24, November 30 - Act No. 71 of 2000)
ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATION (OPPRESSIVE OR UNREASONABLE ACTS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends section 61 of the Associations Incorporation Act which provides a mechanism for dealing with conduct by an association which is oppressive or unreasonable towards a member or members. At the moment only the Supreme Court can deal with such matters, but this Bill enables the Magistrates Court to also have jurisdiction.
			(October 5, 10, 11, 12, November 8 - Act No. 65 of 2000)

	The purpose of this Bill is to strengthen consumer protection provisions in relation to the operation of the Casino Act. The Bill requires the Adelaide Casino to take into consideration the adverse personal effects of gambling on persons who gamble at the casino and their families. The Bill also requires a licensing agreement to be approved by both Houses of Parliament, prohibits certain types of gambling, in particular interactive gambling, and prohibits gaming machines that are not operated by coins.
			(October 11, 26, November 9, 17, December 6, 8 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CLASSIFICATION (PUBLICATIONS, FILMS AND COMPUTER GAMES) (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill makes a number of changes to the Classification (Publications, Films and Computers Games) Act to improve its effectiveness, particularly in relation to enforcement of offences.
	The Bill also provides for expiation of a number of the less grave classification offences. This measure is intended not to detract from the seriousness of these offences, but to improve the enforcement of the Act.
			(November 8, December 6, May 30, June 5, 6, 7, 24 - Act No. 29 of 201)
CLASSIFICATION (PUBLICATIONS, FILMS AND COMPUTER GAMES) (MISCELLANEOUS NO. 2) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to make complementary amendments to the Classification (Publications, Films and Computer Games) Act necessitated by amendments to the Commonwealth Act of the same name. The Bill makes minor and chiefly technical amendments to the national co-operative scheme for the classification of publications, films and games.
	The amendments arise from experience with the scheme over the last five years and either address minor defects in the Act or make improvements to its operation.
			(September 26, November 13, 15, 29 - Act No. 60 of 2001)
CLASSIFICATION (PUBLICATIONS, FILMS AND COMPUTER GAMES) (ON-LINE SERVICES) AMENDMENT BILL

			(November 8, December 6, May 30, June 5, 6, November 1 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
COMMUNITY TITLES (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to make minor amendments to the Community Titles Act to facilitate the effective operation of the Act. Section 3 is amended to enable a licensed surveyor to validly certify a plan of community division even though he or she cannot be certain of the location of part of the service infrastructure. Section 23 is amended to provide for the vesting of lots on the division of a single allotment that is owned by more than one person. Section 36 is amended to make it clear that a developer may include a by-law for exclusive use of the common property in the initial by-laws. Section 58 is amended by inserting a new subsection that will provide for consolidation of the common property of a scheme into one title. Section 144 is amended to make it clear that the Registrar-General can look at more than formal matters when making a preliminary examination of a plan and may "approve" the plan in preparation for registration. The Bill also amends the schedule of provisional provisions.
			(November 8, 13, 14, 15, April 4, 5 - Act No. 8 of 2001)
CONSTITUTION (PARLIAMENTARY SITTINGS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to amend section 7 of the Constitution Act which relates to the intervals between which Parliament must sit. The amendments in the Bill will ensure that Parliament must sit at least every ten weeks.
			(October 11, November 8, 29 - Negatived in Legislative Council)
CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY LONG SERVICE LEAVE (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The Construction Industry Long Service Leave Act provides a scheme to enable construction industry workers to become eligible for long service leave based on service to the industry rather than service to a single employer. The amendments in this Bill will make the Act more equitable and reinforce consistency with certain provisions of the Long Service Act 1987.
	The key features of the amendments are -
	1. 2. 3. 4. 5.	To remove the capacity for working directors to claim retrospective benefits and to provide benefits based on actual contributions to the construction industry long service leave fund (the fund). Reducing the period of allowable absence from three years to two years for those workers with less than five years accrued service. This in effect reduces the long-term liability of the fund. Previous long service leave payment recognition to be restricted to the period of service in the construction industry when making a pro rata payment to workers with less than seven years’ service entitlement. Service recognition for an absence resulting from a work related injury be limited to two years and employer or WorkCover payments of income maintenance will not constitute remuneration paid to the construction worker for which a levy is payable. To enable workers on allowable absences to be credited with the corresponding period of service.
			(November 8, 29, December 8 - Act No. 83 of 2000)
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES (DRUG OFFENCE DIVERSION) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to put in place an outcome of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Meeting in 1999 to provide a national approach in addressing a range of issues relating to the illicit use of drugs.
	A significant component of the COAG agreement was the establishment of police drug diversion programs. The general approach is that diversion to education, assessment and treatment (and, as necessary, allied services) should be an option upon police apprehension of an individual for offences relating to the possession or use of minor amounts of illicit drugs. The approach will build upon collaborative relationships between police who apprehend and human service professionals who assess and treat. But the principal feature for present purposes is that the diversion program is to be police initiated.
			(October 5, November 14, 15, December 7 - Act No. 87 of 2000)
CONVEYANCERS (REGISTRATION) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill is a result of a review of all existing legislation that restricts competition. While the Conveyancers Act provides protection to consumers, it also contains several provisions that restrict competition through the creation of structural restrictions on entry into the market.
	The Bill provides that the present prohibition on convictions for offences of dishonesty are to be removed and replaced by criteria under which convictions for summary offences of dishonesty will preclude a person from obtaining or holding registration as a conveyancer for a period of ten years, while any convictions for the more serious class of indictable offences of dishonesty will result in permanent prohibition from registration. Clause 4(b) is in similar terms and provides that a company whose director has a conviction for a summary offence of dishonesty will be precluded from obtaining or holding registration as a conveyancer for a period of ten years, while a conviction for the more serious class of indictable offences of dishonesty will continue to permanently prohibit that company from registration.
			(October 5, 12, November 7, 9 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CO-OPERATIVES (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to retain the consistency of Co-operative legislation between South Australia and other jurisdictions. The Co-operatives Act provides for the incorporation and regulation of co-operatives and aims to promote co-operative principles of member ownership, control and economic participation. It also incorporates provisions that are consistent with the co-operatives legislation of other jurisdictions, to facilitate interstate trading and fundraising by co-operatives.
	Following the commencement in 1997 of consistent co-operatives legislation in the eastern seaboard states and South Australia, Queensland initiated proposals for amendments that had been found necessary during the course of administering the legislation.
	These amendments to the Queensland Co-operatives Act commenced in March 2000 and have been used as a model for the amendments to the South Australian Act.
			(November 28 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CO-OPERATIVE SCHEMES (ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS) BILL
	The object of this Bill is to dealt with doubts cast by the decision of the High Court in The Queen v Hughes which has cast doubt on the ability of Commonwealth authorities or officers to exercise powers and perform functions under State laws in relation to the following inter-governmental legislative schemes -
	1. 2. 3.	the co-operative scheme for agricultural and veterinary chemicals; or the co-operative scheme for the National Crime Authority; or any other co-operative scheme to which the proposed Act is applied by proclamation.
	This Bill ensures that functions or powers are not imposed on Commonwealth authorities and officers in connection with administrative actions under the schemes if their imposition would exceed the legislative powers of the State, and validates any such previous invalid administrative action.
			(July 3, 6, 25 - Act No. 30 of 2001)
CORONERS BILL
	The Bill sets out the administration of the coronial jurisdiction in South Australia. The position of State Coroner is retained. In keeping with established practices, all Magistrates are Deputy State Coroners. The Governor’s power to appoint other coroners is retained. The functions of the State Coroner are largely the same as under the current legislation with one important difference, that relating to the administration of the new Coroner’s Court.
	The formal establishment of the Coroner’s Court as a court of record is consistent with the more recent reforms of the coronial jurisdictions of other states and territories.
	The Bill also sets out the practice and procedure of the Coroner’s Court. These provisions are generally consistent with the provisions governing the practice and procedure of inquests conducted by coroners under the current legislation. The Court is, however, given greater flexibility to accept evidence from children under the age of 12, or from persons who are illiterate or who have intellectual disabilities.
			(May 31, October 23, 24 , 25, 30 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CORPORATIONS (ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS) BILL
	This Bill forms part of the same set of reforms as the Corporations (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2001 and serves an ancillary purpose.
	The Bill will ensure that the rights of all persons are as though administrative actions taken by the Commonwealth bodies had been validly taken.
	The Bill also extends to actions taken by Commonwealth bodies under the Cooperative Scheme legislation that preceded the current Corporations law.
	The Bill applies to any administrative action of an officer of the Commonwealth or a Commonwealth authority, taken under the corporations legislation, that might be invalid because the action was taken pursuant to a power or function which was conferred by a State Act, when the power or function could not have been conferred by a valid law of the Commonwealth. The Bill provides that those actions are taken to have the same force and effect as if they had been taken by a State authority or an officer of the State.
	The Bill therefore overcomes any doubts about the validity of administrative actions by Commonwealth authorities or officers under the current and previous schemes. Other jurisdictions propose to introduce similar legislation to achieve a uniform effect.
	The Bill preserves rights and liabilities potentially affected by invalid administrative actions, and specifically confirms the validity of the registration or incorporation of companies under the current and previous schemes.
			(May 30, 31 - Act No. 19 of 2001)
CORPORATIONS (ANCILLARY PROVISIONS) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to enact ancillary provisions, including transitional provisions, relating to the proposed new corporations legislation to be enacted by the Commonwealth Parliament following references of matters relating to corporations made by the States under section 51(xxxvii) of the Commonwealth Constitution.
	The South Australian reference is made under the Corporations (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2001. That measure refers to the Commonwealth Parliament certain matters relating to corporations, corporate regulation and financial products and services. The Commonwealth proposes to enact, under the powers conferred by these references and other powers available to it, a Corporations Act 2001 and an Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001.
	This Bill, together with the Corporations (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2001, the Corporations (Administrative Arrangements) Bill 2001 and the Statutes Amendment (Corporations) Bill 2001, make up the legislative package needed in South Australia for the new corporations arrangements.
			(May 29, 30, 31, June 6 - Act No. 20 of 2001)
CORPORATIONS (COMMONWEALTH POWERS) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to refer certain matters relating to corporations and financial products and services to the Parliament of the Commonwealth for the purposes of section 51(xxxvii) of the Constitution of the Commonwealth.
	The Bill enables the Commonwealth Parliament to enact as Commonwealth laws the proposed Corporations Bill 2001 and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Bill 2001 in the form of the Bills that were tabled in the New South Wales Parliament on 7 March 2001. The Bill also enables the Commonwealth to amend the laws, or regulations made under them, in the future as long as the amendments are confined to the matters of corporate regulation, formation of corporations and the regulation of financial products and services, but only to the extent of making express amendments to the Bills referred to the Commonwealth Parliament.
	The Bill provides that the Act is not intended to allow for laws to be made pursuant to the amendment reference for the sole or main underlying purpose or object of regulating industrial relations matters. This exclusion is to ensure that the Commonwealth cannot use the referred powers to legislate in the area of industrial relations or to override State laws dealing with industrial relations.
	The Bill provides that the reference of powers is to terminate five years after the Commonwealth Corporations legislation commences, or at an earlier time by proclamation.
			(May 29, 30, 31, June 6 - Act No. 21 of 2001)
CRIMINAL LAW (LEGAL REPRESENTATION) BILL
	This Bill addresses the problem of serious criminal trials being stayed for want of legal representation. It enables all persons charged with serious crimes against State law to be represented and all such trials to proceed. It regularises the process by which the revenue may be called on to fund these maters, and it ensures that the aided person pays, to the full extent that he or she is able, for the cost of the case. It addresses, as far as possible, the hitherto difficult problem of the person who has structured his or her affairs so as to protect assets which ought rightly to be available to pay for legal representation.
			(April 11, July 6, 26 - Act No. 36 of 2001)
CRIMINAL LAW (SENTENCING) (SENTENCING PROCEDURES) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to amend the provisions of the Criminal Law (Sentencing) Act 1988 dealing with sentencing procedures, and also to make consequential amendments to the Summary Procedure Act.
	The Bill amends section 7A of the principal Act which deals with victim impact statements. A victim is entitled under this section to read the statement to the court. The amendment empowers the court to exercise any of the powers that it has to protect vulnerable witnesses to encourage or assist a victim in the exercise of this right.
	The Bill also inserts a new section 9B which requires a defendant who is to be sentenced for an indictable offence to be present throughout the sentencing proceedings.
			(July 3, 6, 25, 26 - Act No. 37 of 2001)
CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION (OFFENCES OF DISHONESTY) AMENDMENT BILL
	The amendments made by this Bill are the result of a review of the criminal law in the area of criminal offences punishing dishonesty in its various forms. The Bill represents a major reform effort in a technical and complex area of the criminal law. A great deal of the workings of the criminal justice system are spent in the area of offences of dishonesty.
	This Bill is an attempt to reform and codify the law on the subject, bring it up to date and provide a fair and reasonable offence structure.
			(July 26, October 4, 23, 24, November 13 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION (PAYOLA) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill introduces a new concept of an offence known as "payola". It is allied to secret commission. The principal difference between the two is that secret commissions concern the breach of a fiduciary relationship and payola does not. The essence of the offence of payola occurs when a person holds him/herself out to the public as an independent expert giving impartial advice on any subject when, in reality, the person has an undisclosed financial interest in giving the advice. The commission of the offence maybe avoided by appropriate disclosure of the financial interest.
			(July 26, October 4, 23, 24, November 13 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
CRIMINAL LAW CONSOLIDATION (TERRITORIAL APLICATION OF THE CRIMINAL LAW) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to address defects in section 5C of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act. This section provides that an offence against the law of South Australia is committed if all of the elements necessary to constitute the offence exist and a territorial nexus exists between South Australia and at least one element of the offence. That territorial nexus exists if an element of the offence is, or includes, an event occurring in South Australia, or the element is, or includes, an event that occurs outside South Australia, but while the person alleged to have committed the offence is in South Australia.
	The amendments in the Bill will clarify the law about the jurisdiction of South Australian criminal courts and extend that jurisdiction to enable the effective application of South Australian criminal law within nationally agreed parameters.
			(November 28 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
DEVELOPMENT (ADULT BOOK/SEX SHOPS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to prevent sex shops from locating within 200 metres of the boundary of a children’s service centre or school.
			(April 11, May 2, 16, June 6, July 25 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
DEVELOPMENT (SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill makes improvements to the planning and development processes in the State. The aim of the Bill is to integrate the development assessment system more effectively and completely - in particular making provision for a single assessment "one stop shop" process for more development activities.
	The Bill also improves rules and processes so that there is greater certainty and faster decision making, both within the State Government and local governments.
			(October 5, November 15, 28, December 7 - Act No. 88 of 2000)
DIGNITY IN DYING BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to provide for the administration of medical procedures to assist the death of patients who are hopelessly ill and who have expressed a desire for the procedures subject to appropriate safeguards.
			(March 14, 28, April 4, 11, May 2, 30, July 4, 24, 25 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
ELECTORAL (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill makes a number of amendments to the Electoral Act which are mostly of a technical nature and seek to streamline the existing electoral processes. The Bill addresses such issues as information to be provided to the Electoral Commissioners, penalties, enrolment as an elector, registration of political parties, description of Independent candidates, appointment of scrutineers, registration as a declaration voter, postal votes and how to vote cards. The Bill will also ensure that the Electoral Commissioner will be provided with immunity for all persons involved in the administration of the Act. Any such liability will instead lie against the Crown.
			(March 15, April 10, 11, May 16, 30, July 5 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
ELECTORAL (VOTING AGE) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to lower the voting age in South Australia from 18 to 17 years and lower the age for provisional enrolment on the electoral roll from 17 to 16 years.
			(March 14, May 16 - Bill withdrawn in Legislative Council)
ELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS BILL
	The object of this Bill is to provide a regulatory framework that -
	1. 2. 3. 4.	recognises the importance of the information economy to the future economic and social prosperity of Australia; facilitates the use of electronic transactions; a promotes business and community confidence in the use of electronic transactions; and enables business and the community to use electronic communications in their dealings with government.
			(October 5, 10, 11, 24, November 30 - Act No. 72 of 2000)
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The amendments contained in this Bill are based on the recommendations made by the Environment Resources and Development Committee after its study of the Environment Protection Agency and the Environment Protection Authority of the Environment Protection Act. The aim of the amendments is to produce an Environmental Protection Agency which is independent.
			(July 25, October 3 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
EQUAL OPPORTUNITY (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to expand the grounds of discrimination addressed by the Act in several respects. the Bill will add "mental illness" to the present definition of "impairment" and include the state of being infected with the HIV virus as "physical impairment". The Bill creates new grounds of discrimination, such as prohibiting direct discrimination on the ground of responsibility to care for one’s child, spouse, parent, grandparent or grandchild, as well as extending the scope of sexual harassment provisions.
	The Bill also alters the complaint process and the role of the Commissioner for Equal Opportunity.
			(March 13, May 3, 30, June 6, September 27, October 4 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
ESSENTIAL SERVICES (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends the Essential Services Act by replacing the offence and penalty provisions in sections 4 and 9 with new offences and penalties which draw a distinction between an inadvertent or negligent breach and an intentional or reckless breach. The bill also provides that company directors are guilty of an offence where the company of which they are a director commits an offence. Finally, the bill will provide immunity for civil liability for persons acting in good faith in compliance with a direction.
			(November 15, March 14, 29 - Act No. 4 of 2001)
EVIDENCE (PROTECTED MATERIAL IN SEXUAL CASES) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to ensure that the material relating to a sexual offence that is gathered or generated for the purpose of prosecution is subject to certain protection. The material to be protected will be statements (in any form) made by the victim, photographs or film of the victim and medical and psychological records about the victim.
	The protected material will be made available to the defendant subject to certain restrictions.
			(November 28 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
EXPIATION OF OFFENCES (TRIFLING OFFENCES) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill provides a mechanism for a review of an expiation notice if the alleged offender believes that an offence to which the notice relates was trifling.
	The Bill defines that an offence will not be regarded as trifling unless it falls within one of three categories, namely, the offender committed the offence for compelling humanitarian safety reasons, the offender could not have reasonably averted committing the offence or the offender’s breach was merely a technical, trivial or petty breach.
			(March 15, 27, 28, 29, April 10 - Act No. 11 of 2001)
EXPLOSIVES (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill represents the first step in implementing a new system for regulating the use of fireworks in South Australia.
	The Government has decided that the current system of regulation is inadequate. The present regulations control the sale, but not the use, of fireworks. The practice of imposing conditions on permits for sale is unsatisfactory under the current regime.
	This Bill clarifies the powers under the Explosives Act 1936 to make regulations and to issue licences and permits under these regulations. In particular, the Bill specifically authorises the variation of conditions of licences and permits.
	Additionally, the Bill confers significantly increased powers on the police. These powers allow the police to deal with instances of fireworks misuse in an expeditious manner and should enhance compliance with the requirements of the proposed new regulations in South Australia.
			(May 30, July 3, 6, 24 - Act No. 31 of 2001)
FAIR TRADING (PYRAMID SELLING AND DEFENCES) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends the Fair Trading Act 1987 be replacing the existing pyramid selling section with new, clearer provisions, and by tightening the defences available to those prosecuted for offences under the Act.
			(October 25, November 13, 15 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
FIRST HOME OWNER GRANT (NEW ZEALAND CITIZENS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The First Home Owner Grant Act 2000 provides that only persons who are Australian citizens pursuant to the Australian Citizenship Act 1948 (C’wth) or permanent residents pursuant to the Migration Act 1958 (C’wth) can receive the grant.
	After enquiries were made by New Zealand citizens permanently living in Australia as to their eligibility, it became apparent that such persons are not permanent residents for the purposes of the Migration Act, as they hold special category visas which allow them to remain in Australia permanently whilst not having the technical status of a permanent resident. Therefore, in order to be able to receive the grant, New Zealand citizens must become Australian citizens, which necessitates a residency period in Australia of two years.
	This Bill amends the definition section of the principal Act. Clause 3(a) clarifies the meaning of "Australian citizen". Clause 3(b) adds to the definition of "permanent resident" any New Zealand citizen who holds a special category visa within the meaning of section 32 of the Migration Act 1958 of the Commonwealth, with the effect of enabling such citizens to satisfy the second eligibility criterion in respect of an application for a first home owner grant under the principal Act.

			(October 11 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AMENDMENT BILL

			(October 11, December 6, April 11, July 26, October 3 2001 - Negatived in Legislative Council)
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The provisions of this Bill amend the Freedom of Information Act to reduce complexity and provide quicker finalisation of applications, greater transparency in the process, and a greater emphasis on the public interest in making information available.
			(July 25, November 13, 15, 27, 29 - Act No. 61 of 2001)
GAMBLING IMPACT AUTHORITY BILL

To monitor the social and economic impact of gambling activities in this State; To assess the extent to which gambling activities are or are not being conducted in this State in a responsible manner; and To monitor the administration and enforcement of the prescribed Acts and to assess the extent to which that administration and enforcement enhances or diminishes the responsible conduct of gambling activities; and To propose amendments to legislation, modifications to the manner in which legislation is administered or enforced, or other strategies, that the Authority considers necessary or desirable for the purpose of enhancing the responsible conduct of gambling activities in this State (including amendments, modifications or strategies involving alterations to equipment used in gambling activities or the manner in which gambling activities are conducted); and To provide advice to gambling entities about the responsible conduct of gambling activities and, in particular, the development of codes of practice designed to promote such conduct; and To exercise the other powers and functions conferred on, or assigned to, the Authority by or under this Act or by the Minister.

			(October 11 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
GAMING MACHINES (FREEZE ON GAMING MACHINES) AMENDMENT BILL

HAIRDRESSERS (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill is a result of a review of all existing legislation that restricts competition. The definition of hairdressing is amended so that "washing" and "massaging or other treatment of a person’s scalp" are not included as these activities do not pose risks to consumers.
	The current competency requirements are considered so onerous as to exceed those necessary to achieve the Act’s objectives. This Bill establishes a scheme whereby a person can apply to the Commissioner for Consumer Affairs to make a determination on whether that person has alternative qualifications, training or experience considered appropriate for the purpose of carrying on the practice of hairdressing. This will allow those who are not able to satisfy the qualification criteria set out in the regulations, but who are otherwise competent to carry on the practice of hairdressing without posing any risk to consumers, to legally provide their services to consumers in South Australia. An applicant has a right of appeal to the Administrative and Disciplinary Division of the District Court against a determination made by the Commissioner.

LAND AGENTS (REGISTRATION) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill is a result of a review of all existing legislation that restricts competition. While the Land Agents Act provides protection to consumers, it also contains several provisions that restrict competition through the creation of structural restrictions on entry into the market.
	The Bill provides, in relation to registration as an agent, that the present prohibition on convictions for offences of dishonesty is to be removed and replaced by criteria under which convictions for summary offences of dishonesty will preclude a person from obtaining or holding registration as a land agent for a period of ten years, while any convictions for the more serious class of indictable offences of dishonesty will result in permanent prohibition from registration.
	The Bill makes similar provision in relation to the employment of people as sales representatives and the entitlement of a person to act as a sales representative. Under clause 5, a person must not employ another as a sales representative if that other person has been convicted of an indictable offence of dishonesty at any time or has, within the period of 10 years preceding the employment, been convicted of a summary offence of dishonesty. Further, a person must not act as a sales representative if they have been convicted of an indictable offence of dishonesty at any time, or have been convicted of a summary offence of dishonesty within the period of 10 years preceding their acting as a sales representative.

	This Bill will allow the courts to reduce a plaintiff’s damages on account of his or her contributory negligence in any case of breach of a contractual duty of care, subject only to any agreement between the parties or after legislative provision to the contrary.
	In addition, the Bill will make the contribution provisions that currently apply only between tortfeasors applicable to alarms for breach of contractual duty of care.
			(May 30, June 7, July 3, 25 - Act No. 41 of 2001)
LAW REFORM (DELAY IN RESOLUTION OF PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to add a new Division 10A to Part 3 of the Wrongs Act 1936. The new Division is entitled "unreasonable Delay in Resolution of Claim". The Bill also amends the Survival of Causes of Action Act 1940 and updates it by removing references to obsolete causes of action.
	New Division 10A would create a new entitlement to damages in certain circumstances. Courts and tribunals will be able to aware damages under section 35C on the application of the personal representatives of a person who has suffered a personal injury (including disease or any impairment of physical or mental condition) and who has made claim for damages or compensation, but died before damages or workers compensation for non-economic loss have been determined. The section 35C damages could be awarded if the defendant is found liable to pay damages or compensation to the person who suffered the injury and certain other factors exist. The damages would be awarded against the defendant or other person who has authority to defend the claim, such as the insurer, a liquidator or the personal representatives of a deceased defendant.

LEGAL ASSISTANCE (RESTRAINED PROPERTY) AMENDMENT) BILL
	This Bill amends the Criminal Assets Confiscation Act, the Criminal Law (Sentencing) Act, the Legal Services Commission Act and the Criminal Law Consolidation Act in relation to restrained assets and legal expenses.
	The Criminal Assets Confiscation Act is amended in section 20 by striking out subsections (2) and (3), which relate to the application of restrained property towards legal costs, and inserting new provisions. The new subsection (2) provides that restrained property may only be applied towards legal costs if this is authorised by the court and the costs are "legal assistance costs". Section 20(3) provides that upon the application of the Legal Services Commission, the court must authorise the application of restrained property towards payment of legal costs if it is satisfied that it is unlikely that no other person has a lawful claim to the property. Under section 20(4), the Legal Services Commission can not make an application to the court unless it is satisfied the person has no other source of funds reasonably available to pay towards legal assistance costs. Under section 20(5), the Attorney-General must be given an opportunity to be heard on the matter.
	The Criminal Law (Sentencing) Act is amended by inserting a new paragraph (ka) in section 10. The new paragraph provides that, except where a forfeiture of property operates to remove any benefit obtained from the commission of an offence, a court should have regard to the nature and extent of property that has been forfeited by a person in determining a sentence.
	The Legal Services Commission Act is amended by inserting a new section 18B which provides that in assessing whether a person is eligible for legal assistance, the Legal Services Commission must disregard the value of any assets that have been restrained under the Criminal Assets Confiscation Act. The restrained assets are also disregarded in assessing any contribution the person must make towards costs, but this does not prevent the Commission from applying to the court to have the restrained assets applied to the costs. A person’s liability to pay legal costs to the Commission may be secured by a charge over restrained property, which will be released automatically if the property is subsequently forfeited.
	A consequential amendment is made to the Criminal Law Consolidation Act.
			(November 29, March 13, 15, 27, April 4 - Act No. 10 of 2001)
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends the Legal Practitioners Act 1981 for three distinct purposes.
	Firstly, the Bill will amend the Act to effectively exclude, from the Guarantee Fund, claims for losses incurred as a result of a legal practitioner’s mortgage investment activities. By excluding claims related to mortgage investment broking from the Guarantee Fund, all clients accepting mortgage investment services will be in the same position in relation to indemnity for losses, regardless of the profession of the person facilitating the mortgage investment scheme.
	Secondly, the Bill will make it an offence for a legal practitioner to employ or engage in his or her legal practice a person who is suspended from practice or has been struck off the roll. This would prevent employment even in the capacity of a law clerk or a paralegal. In this way, the punitive and consumer protective aims of the disciplinary provisions would be carried into effect. However, the Government accepts that employment in a law firm may be permissible in circumstances where it does not entail the practice of the profession of law by the disqualified person and where the public is protected. Hence, the Bill also permits the disqualified person or the practitioner proposing to employ or engage him or her, to apply to the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal for permission for such employment.
	Finally, the Bill will clarify the interaction between section 66 of the Act and the other provisions of the Act dealing with claims against the Guarantee Fund, and also makes a minor amendment to the scope of claims by legal practitioners against the Guarantee Fund.
			(October 5, November 9, 14, 15, 30 - Act No. 70 of 2000)
LEGAL PRACTITIONERS (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The amendments in this Bill arise from a competition policy review of the Legal Practitioners Act. Firstly, the Bill removes the requirement for admission as a legal practitioner that the applicant be resident in Australia. Secondly, the Bill removes the restriction between land agents and legal practitioners for the work of drawing tenancy agreements by removing the prescribed limit on rental value which applies to land agents. Thirdly, the Bill enables private trustee companies to charge for the preparation of a will, even though the trustee company is not named as an executor of the will and even though the will is not drawn by a lawyer.
			(October 24, November 15, 27, 29 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
LEGAL SERVICES COMMISSION (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill makes a number of amendments to the Legal Services Commission Act to enable the Commission to operate more efficiently by formalising existing administrative practice and removing unnecessary restrictions upon it. Other amendments recognise the changed nature of the relationship between the State Government and the Commission and the Commonwealth Government since the Act was enacted in 1977.
			(October 11, March 13, April 10, May 3 - Act No. 15 of 2001)
LIQUOR LICENSING (REVIEWS, APPEALS AND NOISE COMPLAINTS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The amendments made by this Bill are to the procedural provisions of the Liquor Licensing Act. The Bill alters the appeal process available to parties who wish to challenge a decision of the licensing authority constituted of the Liquor and Gaming Commissioner. The Bill abolishes the present review of the Commissioner's decisions by the Licensing Court and instead provides for an appeal from such decisions to the Supreme Court, as applies in the case of first-instance decisions of the Licensing Court.
	The Bill also adds a new provision that the licensing authority may grant an application on an interim basis, or specify that a condition of a licence, permit or approval is effective for a specified period.
	Finally, the Bill also provides that, where the parties so request, the Commissioner must deal with a complaint about noise, etc., emanating from licensed premises. At present, a noise complaint which cannot be conciliated must be referred to the Court, even though the parties would have been satisfied for the Commissioner to dispose of it.
			(July 26, October 2, 4, 25, 30 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)

It also increases the level of accountability to accord with other similar legislation.
			(October 11, March 13, April 10, May 3 - Act No. 15 of 2001)
LOCAL GOVERNMENT (CONSULTATION ON RATNG POLICIES) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill provides that before any Council considers changing the basis of the rating of any land or changes the basis on which land is valued for the purpose of rating, the Council must follow a process of public consultation. Public consultation is prescribed as a notice published in a newspaper circulating in the area, an invitation to interested persons to attend a public meeting, to make written submissions and setting out a reasonable time frame for that of 21 days.
	The Bill also provides that where a Council considers changing the basis of differential rates, the same process of public consultation is required.
			(November 14, 28, 29 -Act No. 67 of 2001)
MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT (REGISTER OF INTERESTS) (RETURNS) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to make a number of amendments to the principal Act to improve the legislation. The Bill reduces from 50 per cent to a 15 per cent interest in investments that must be declared. The Bill requires that all assets contributed to a joint venture in which a Member of Parliament has an interest, including those contributed by other parties, be declared. The Bill makes a Member of Parliament who carries out or is a party to a scheme to defeat, evade, prevent or limit the operation of the Act guilty of an offence and subject to a $5,000 fine. The Bill also reduces the thresholds for disclosure of the debts by Members of Parliament from $7,500 to $5,000 and loans or deposits made by a Member of Parliament from $10,000 to $5,000.
			(November 8, 17, December 6 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
NATIVE TITLE (SOUTH AUSTRALIA) (VALIDATION AND CONFIRMATION) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill represents the State’s legislative response to the amendments to the Native Title Act 1993 (Commonwealth) in so far as they relate to validation and confirmation provisions.
	Section 22F of the Native Title Act 1993 allows the State to validate acts done over pastoral and other lands in the period between 1 January 1994 and 23 December 1996 (the date of the Wik decision) on the assumption that native title was extinguished. This will ensure the validity of acts on pastoral leases prior to the Wik decision.
	Part 6 of the Native Title (South Australia) Act is amended to validate those acts covered by section 22F and also to provide for the State to be able to validate invalid future acts pursuant to section 24EBA.
	Sections 23E and 23I of the Native Title Act provide for the State to confirm the extinguishment (total or partial respectively) of native title by previous exclusive possession acts and previous non-exclusive possession acts attributable to the State, including those listed in the list of extinguishing tenures for South Australia set out in Schedule 1, Part 5 of the Native Title Act.
	The amendments in this Bill are consistent with the decisions in the Mabo and Wik cases and the principles identified in them. They will remove certain perpetual and other lessees who hold rights of exclusive possession from the process of determining native title applications in the Federal Court.
			(October 5, November 28, 30, December 7, 8 - Act No. 84 of 2000)

			(November 14 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE (PENALTIES) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to increase penalties for breaches of the Act. Maximum penalties under the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act have remained unchanged since the inception of the Act in 1986.
	A comparison of interstate penalty structures reveals that the level of penalties in South Australia is now towards the lower end of the scale in relation to other States.
	It is considered that maximum penalties under the Act must be maintained as an appropriate deterrent and to act as an inducement to bring about behavioural changes in the workplace. The increases in maximum penalties contained in this Bill will convey a message to the community at large as to the importance of occupational health and safety in the workplace and that all offenders, be they corporate or otherwise, who commit these offences will face substantial penalties.
			(October 12, November 8, 9, 16, December 7 - Act No. 86 of 2000)
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE (PENALTIES AND PAYMENTS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to increase the existing maximum level of penalties in the Occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Act.
	The Bill will provide an industrial magistrate the discretion to make a payment to an injured worker on account of injury, loss or damage suffered by an employee. It provides that if it appears to the court in which the person is convicted that the employee has suffered injury, loss or damage as a result of the commission of the offence, or of any other offence taken into account by the court, the court may order that a part of any monetary penalty imposed in respect of the offence be paid to the employee or to a member of the employee’s family.
			(October 11, November 8 - Bill withdrawn in Legislative Council)
PARLIAMENTARY SUPERANNUATION (PRESERVATION OF PENSIONS) AMENDMENT BILL

			(July 4, November 14 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
PRICES (PROHIBITION ON RETURN OF UNSOLD BREAD) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends the Prices Act 1948 by inserting a new regulation-making power to ensure that a prohibition on the return of unsold bread can be enforced, whether or not financial relief or compensation is given to or received by the retailer.
	The Bill extends the regulation-making power in the Act in a manner that will enable new regulations to be made that exactly mirror the regulations made in 1985 with which industry was satisfied.
			(October 31, November 13, 27 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)

			(May 3, 16, June 7, July 24 - Act No. 33 of 2001)

The referenda proposals in sequence are - First, whether South Australians favour a continuation of the freeze on the number of gaming machines in hotels and clubs in South Australia. Secondly, whether South Australians are in favour of the removal of all existing gaming machines from hotels, but not from the casino or clubs in South Australia within the next five years. The third question is whether all gaming and poker machines should be removed from the casino, hotels and clubs within the next five years. The final question relates to a requirement that all gaming machines be fitted with a device or mechanism to prevent betting of more than $1 per minute.
			(October 3, 31, November 14 - Negatived in Legislative Council)
RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL LEASES (CASUAL LEASES) AMENDMENT BILL
	The amendments to the Retail and Commercial Leases Act in this Bill relate to a "casual lease" in a retail shopping centre. The Bill provides that a lessee be given a disclosure statement if a retailer knows that an area adjacent to a sho may be sued for casual leasing.

			(December 6 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL LEASES (CASUAL MALL LICENCES) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995 to provide that a lessor of shops in a retail shopping centre must comply with the provisions of the Casual Mall Licensing Code, as set out in a new Schedule to the Act. The Code will provide a legislated framework in which casual mall licensing can operate. It will clarify the entitlements and expectations of affected parties, ensure that lessees have access to greater information about casual mall licensing in retail shopping centres and significantly reduce the tensions which have occurred from time to time between shopping centre owners/managers and retail lessees over this issue.
			(November 1, 13, 15, 29 - Act No. 63 of 2001)
RETAIL AND COMMERCIAL LEASES (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The amendments to the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995 in this Bill relate to the impact that an assignment of lease has on the liability of outgoing lessees. The Bill provides that where a lease is assigned, the outgoing lessee and any guarantor will no longer be subject to any obligations or liabilities under the lease once the term of the lease has either expired, or the lease is renewed following the assignment, or a period of two years has elapsed since the date the lease was assigned, whichever happens first. Thus, any obligations or liabilities on the part of the outgoing lessee, following an assignment, may continue for a maximum of two years. The Bill does not affect any obligations or liabilities that have accrued prior to the occurrence of any of these events.
			(October 10, 26, November 8, 9, 28, 30, July 27 - Act No. 43 of 2001)
RETIREMENT VILLAGES (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to improve legislative protection for retirement village residents and require increased disclosure and transparency in relation to the mutual rights and obligations of residents and administering authorities.
	It is usually provided in the residence contract that the resident is responsible for the payment of recurrent (or so-called maintenance) charges until such time as the resident’s unit is re-licensed. As the process of re-selling or re-licensing can often take some months, considerable hardship can occur and the resident’s funds can be diminished, if not exhausted, by the continuing obligation.
	The Bill therefore provides six months should be fixed as the maximum period in respect of which recurrent charges can be charged to residents after the date of vacant possession.
	The Bill also addresses a number of definitional and minor administrative matters and other amendments to bring the legislation into line with other legislative or administrative changes. They include -
	• • •	Correction of references to various bodies, e.g. "Commissioner" to "Minister"; "Companies (SA) Code" to "Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth"; "Commission" to "Corporate Affairs Commission" or "Australian Securities and Investment Commission" where appropriate; Clearer definitions of resident/spouse purposes; Clarification of delegation for the administration of the Act.

			(October 5, 10, 12, 24, November 30 - Act No. 69 of 2000)
SHOP THEFT (ALTERNATIVE ENFORCEMENT) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to provide an alternative legal process, based on police discretion, for dealing with minor shop-stealing with the consent of the victim, the police and the accused.
	Where the case involves goods valued at $30 or less, there are two possible courses of action. In the first, if the accused apologises to the victim in the presence of a police officer (unless the victim does not want an apology), returns the goods or, if they are damaged, pays the value of them, admits to the offence and undertakes to submit to a formal police caution, the matter can be dealt with on the spot. Alternatively, the accused may take the notice away for 48 hours and then may attend personally at the police station specified in the notice and admit the commission of the offence, pay for any goods that are damaged, submit to a formal police caution, and undertake to apologise to the victim (unless the victim does not want an apology) in the presence of a police officer at a time and place fixed in the notice.
	Where the case involves goods valued at more than $30 but at or below $150, the matter is not dealt with on the spot, but the police officer, again with the consent of the victim and the accused, may issue a shop theft infringement notice which obliges the accused to attend a specified police station within 48 hours. When the accused attends, the requirements are similar - admit the commission of the offence, pay for any goods that are damaged, submit to a formal police caution, and undertake to apologise to the victim (unless the victim does not want an apology) in the presence of a police officer at a time and place fixed in the notice - but, in this case, the accused is liable to serve a period of community service calculated at one hour for every $5 value of the goods the subject of the notice.

STATE DISASTER (STATE DISASTER COMMITTEE) AMENDMENT BILL

	This Bill -
	1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.	amends provisions referring to the Corporations Law, or any part of it, so that they refer in future to the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth, or the relevant part of it; corrects references to particular provisions of the Corporations Law so that they are read in future as references to the correct provisions of the Corporations Act (this includes amendments consequential on the Corporate Law Economic Reform Program Act 1999 of the Commonwealth); makes similar amendments and corrections in relation to certain references to the Companies Act 1962 and the Companies (South Australia) Code; in accordance with Part 1.1A of the proposed Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth, continues certain existing exemptions, exceptions and exclusions from the operation of the Corporations Law; re-enacts provisions in Acts that apply particular provisions of the Corporations Law as if they were part of those Acts, so that the provisions continue to apply as State law makes other miscellaneous adjustments necessary for the new corporations scheme.

STATUTES AMENDMENT (COURTS AND JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION) BILL
	This Bill makes a number of amendments to legislation dealing with the jurisdiction and administration of courts. The Bill amends the Building Work Contractors Act 1995, the Courts Administration Act 1993, the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935, the De Facto Relationships Act 1996, the District Court Act 1991, the Judicial Administration (Auxiliary Appointments and Powers) Act 1988, the Magistrates Court Act 1991, the Mining Act 1971, the Opal Mining Act 1995, the Petroleum Act 2000, the Retail and Commercial Leases Act 1995, the Summary Procedure Act 1921, the Supreme Court Act 1935, the Unclaimed Goods Act 1987 and the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1986.
	Courts Administration Act The amendments to this Act will provide the publication on the Courts Administration Authority’s web-site of the sentencing remarks of a Judge of the Supreme or District Court, the same privileges and immunities as if the publication were a publication by a Judge of sentencing remarks in Court.
	District Court Act The amendments to this Act provide that the District Court has the same powers in relation to contempts of itself as the Supreme Court has in relation to contempts of the Supreme Court.
	Judicial Administration (Auxiliary Appointments and Powers) Act The amendments to this Act will enable temporary appointments to the Workers Compensation Tribunal and the Environment, Resources and Development Court.
	Magistrates Court Act The Bill amends the civil jurisdictional limits of the Magistrates Court by increasing the monetary amounts of claims that may be heard from $30,000 to $40,000, except for claims arising out of the use of a motor vehicle and claims relating to real property, which are increased from $60,000 to $80,000. This restores the status quo since the last time the amounts were varied in 1992.
	Mining Act, Opal Mining Act and Petroleum Act The Bill increases the monetary limit on the Wardens Court’s jurisdiction to deal with claims for compensation under these Acts. Currently the Wardens Court may deal with compensation claims involving up to $100,000. This is increased to $150,000 to account for inflation since the amount was fixed in 1988.
	Supreme Court Act The Bill amends this Act to give the Supreme Court the power to waive Court fees where a person is unable to pay the fees because of financial hardship or any other good reason.

STATUTES AMENDMENT (FEDERAL COURTS - STATE JURISDICTION) BILL
	In its decision in the matter of Re Wakim: Ex parte McNally, the majority of the High Court held that the exercise of State jurisdiction by federal courts is not permitted by Chapter III of the Commonwealth Constitution.
	The effect of the decision was to invalidate cross-vesting arrangements in so far as they purport to confer State jurisdiction on federal courts.
	The cross-vesting arrangements, established by the Jurisdiction of Courts (Cross Vesting) legislation of the Commonwealth, the States and the Territories, form an important part of the administration and enforcement of joint Commonwealth, State and Territory schemes relating to agricultural and veterinary chemicals, competition policy reform, gas pipeline access, the National Crime authority and the monitoring of price exploitation associated with the Commonwealth’s goods and services tax.
	In addition to the general cross-vesting arrangements, a separate cross-vesting scheme was established under the Corporations’ legislation. This too has been ruled invalid to the extent that jurisdiction was conferred on the Federal Court in relation to matters arising under the State Corporations Laws.
	This Bill amends the State legislation which supports the co-operative schemes referred to above, being:
	• • • • • • •	the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (South Australia) Act 1994; the Competition Policy Reform (South Australia) Act 1996; the Corporations (South Australia) Act 1990; the Gas Pipelines Access (South Australia) Act 1997; the Jurisdiction of Courts (Cross-Vesting) Act 1987; the National Crime Authority (State Provisions) Act 1984; and the New Tax System Price Exploitation Code (South Australia) Act 1999.
	In the case of each, the Bill makes the following amendments.
	Firstly, provisions which purport to confer State jurisdiction on federal courts are removed.
	Secondly, the Bill repeals those provisions purporting to apply the Commonwealth Administrative legislation as a law of the State.
	Thirdly, the Bill brings the cross-vesting provisions (both generally and in relation to the cross-vesting scheme established under the Corporations Law), into line with the revision of the schemes by the Jurisdiction of Courts Legislation Amendment Act 1999 (C’wth). In particular, the amendments allow the judicial review of the actions and decisions of Commonwealth officers and agencies to continue to be dealt with by the Federal Court. In some limited circumstances, the State Supreme Court is given equivalent jurisdiction.

STATUTES AMENDMENT (INDEXATION OF SUPERANNUATION PENSIONS) BILL
	This Bill amends the Governors’ Pensions Act 1976, the Judges’ Pensions Act 1971, the Parliamentary Superannuation Act 1974, the Police Superannuation Act 1990, and the Superannuation Act 1988, so that twice yearly indexation of pensions can be implemented.
	The Bill provides for the twice a year adjustments to be made in October and April each year. Under the new arrangements, the adjustment in October will reflect the movement in the Consumer Price Index over the six months to the previous 30 June, and the adjustment in April will reflect the movement in the Consumer Price Index over the six months to the previous 31 December.
			(July 4, 24, 26 - Act No. 40 of 2001)
STATUTES AMENDMENT (MOBIL OIL REFINERIES)BILL
	The object of this Bill is to amend the State Government's Indenture Agreements with Mobil Refining Australia Ltd. laid down in the Oil Refinery (Hundred of Noarlunga) Indenture Act 1958 and the Mobil Lubricating Oil Refinery (Indenture) Act 1976.
	The main amendments concern arrangements for the payment of cargo service charges on crude exports and finished fuel imports across the Port Stanvac wharf, the level of rates payable to the City of Onkaparinga and the requirement for the State to provide certain facilities.
			(October 24, November 1, 13, 29 - Act No. 70 of 2001)
STATUTES AMENDMENT (PUBLIC TRUSTEE) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to remove existing barriers to competition between the Public Trustee and other trustees, including removing the regulatory or supervisory role of the Public Trustee resulting from the Administration and Probate Act and the Aged and Infirm Persons Property Act. Instead, while continuing to discharge the essential obligations expected by the community, the Public Trustee will be a market participant along with other participants. It is hoped that this will enhance the effectiveness of the Public Trustee, to the benefit of the community as a whole.

STATUTES AMENDMENT (ROAD SAFETY INITIATIVES) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to amend both the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 and the Road Traffic Act 1961 to provide for a range of measures to improve road safety practices across South Australia. Overall this road safety package focuses on extra enforcement and educative measures relating to drink driving and speeding, in an effort to reduce two of the principal causes of road crashes in South Australia - and ultimately reduce road deaths, injuries and related health costs across the State.

STATUTES AMENDMENT (STALKING) BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to address the issue of "cyber stalking". Cyber stalking occurs when stalkers take advantage of information technology as a means of stalking their victims.
	South Australia’s stalking legislation makes no direct references to the use of electronic forms of communication for stalking purposes. It is considered desirable to make it clear that stalking "on-line" is equivalent to stalking "off-line" and should be treated as such.
	This Bill amends not only the provision of the Criminal Law Consolidation Act which create the offence of stalking, but also the related provisions in the Domestic Violence Act and the Summary Procedure Act which provide for the making of restraining orders. It is desirable to maintain consistency across these three Acts, and to ensure that there is the same scope for prevention via a restraining order as there is for punishment via the offence provisions.
			(July 26, September 26, October 4, 30 - Act No. 55 of 2001)
STATUTES AMENDMENT (TRANSPORT PORTFOLIO) BILL
	This Bill amends the definition of motor vehicle in the Goods Securities Act to specifically include trailers. This will ensure that the scope of the Act remains unaffected and that securities can continue to be registered over trailers.
	The Bill also amends the Motor Vehicles Act in three areas.
	The first amendment varies the criteria for granting a concession on registration fees to ex-service personnel receiving a pension based on impairment of locomotion from 75 per cent incapacity to 70 per cent incapacity.
	The second amendment to the Act requires the driver of a heavy vehicle to produce his or her licence to an inspector forthwith on request. Section 98AAA of the Act requires the drivers of heavy vehicles to carry their licences with them while driving a heavy vehicle. If requested by a member of the police force, the driver must produce his or her licence forthwith.
	The third amendment to the Act would make it an offence punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 to use information obtained in the administration of the Act and disclosed as permitted by the Act for purposes other than those for which it was disclosed.
			(October 5, 24, 26, November 7, 8 - Act No. 76 of 2000)
STATUTES AMENDMENT (TRANSPORT PORTFOLIO) BILL
	This Bill makes a number of amendments to the Harbors and Navigation Act 1993 and the Road Traffic Act 1961 in relation to the provisions for carrying out breath tests to determine whether or not a person has consumed alcohol. The amendments determine the time limit for commencement of a breath analysis, the consequences of not having a blood test, testing procedures to be prescribed and clarification of the concentration of alcohol in a person’s blood.
	Section 33(3) of the Road Traffic Act is amended to require road closures and exemptions to be publicised in accordance with requirements that will be set out in the regulations. This will allow for the manner of advertising to be tailored to the nature of the event and the likely inconvenience to the driving public.
	The Bill amends the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 to allow the regulations to prescribe a class of vehicle that the Registrar may refuse to register, either completely or pending investigations. The regulations relating to written-of vehicles will be amended to ensure that, in the first instance, the categories of wrecked vehicles in New South Wales that are precluded from being registered in New South Wales are precluded from being registered in South Australia. This will ensure that South Australia does not become the dumping ground for such vehicles.
	The Bill also makes other minor technical amendments.
			(March 14, April 3, 4, 5, 10, May 3 - Act No. 17 of 2001)
STATUTES AMENDMENT (TRANSPORT PORTFOLIO NO. 2) BILL
	This Bill amends the Civil Aviation (Carriers’ Liability) Act 1962, the Harbors and Navigation Act 1993, the Motor Vehicles Act 1959 and the Road Traffic Act 1961.
	Civil Aviation (Carriers’ Liability) Act The amendments in the Bill enable a monetary penalty to be imposed by the courts where a corporate air carrier fails to have acceptable passenger insurance in place.
	Harbors and Navigation Act The amendments to in this Bill address the following issues -
	• • •	authorised persons to issue expiation notices; creation of an offence of allowing an unlicensed person to operate a vessel; time within which a prosecution may commence.
	Motor Vehicles Act The amendments in the Bill address the following issues -
	• • • •	excluding probationary licence holders from acting as qualified passengers; refund of fees for issue of motor driving instructors’ licences; ability of the nominal defendant to recover from the driver or owner of an uninsured vehicle; retention of images of licensed drivers.
	Road Traffic Act The amendments in the Bill will enable enforcement officers to issue a defect notice where a vehicle fails to comply with the vehicle standards or otherwise if the vehicle has not been maintained to a safe standard for use on roads. The Bill also enables enforcement officers to issue defective vehicle labels for both major and minor defects and empowers police officers or Transport SA inspectors to vary a defect notice where appropriate.
			(October 24, November 27 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
STATUTES AMENDMENT AND REPEAL (STARR-BOWKETT SOCIETIES) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to repeal the Starr-Bowkett Societies Act 1975 and to amend the Fair Trading Act 1987.
	The Bill inserts a new Part in the Fair Trading Act that relates to Starr-Bowkett Societies and the activity of balloting for loans. The new provisions prohibit the trading or the carrying on of a business as a Starr-Bowkett society or using the name "Starr-Bowkett" (that is, a person or body that causes loan applicants to ballot for a loan, or makes the granting of a loan dependent on chance). There is an exception for an interstate Starr-Bowkett society, which may continue to do business with a member in South Australia if the member joined the society before moving to live in this State.
			(September 26, October 23, 30 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)
SURVIVAL OF CAUSES OF ACTION (DUST-RELATED CONDITIONS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to provide that if a person commences an action for damages in respect of a dust-related condition and dies before the action is finally determined, damages for pain and suffering, bodily and mental harm and curtailment of expectation of life are recoverable for the benefit of the estate of the person.
			(October 11, November 8, 29, April 11, May 2, June 6, 26, October 4 2001 - Act No. 49 of 2001)
TRADE MEASUREMENT (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to make minor amendments to the Trade Measurements Act. The Act mirrors the national uniform trade measurement legislation agreed to by State and Territory Ministers, with the exception of Western Australia, in 1990.
	In 1995, the Standing Committee of Officials of Consumer Affairs agreed on a project to review the uniform trade measurement legislation and its sub-committee, the Trade Measurement Advisory Committee, undertook that task with a view to identifying and examining the effectiveness, scope and appropriateness of the legislation.
	The Committee identified a total of 47 areas of the legislation requiring amendment, of which 23 were regarded as minor in nature. It is these 23 amendments that this Bill addresses.
			(July 5, 24, September 27, October 3 - Act No. 48 of 2001)
UNCLAIMED SUPERANNUATION BENEFITS (MISCELLANEOUS) AMENDMENT BILL
	This Bill amends the Unclaimed Superannuation Benefits Act 1997, to ensure the State’s unclaimed superannuation legislation remains complementary to the Commonwealth’s Superannuation (Unclaimed Money and Lost Members) Act 1999.
	In October 1999 the Commonwealth repealed the superannuation and retirement savings account unclaimed benefit provisions incorporated in various Commonwealth Acts, and consolidated the provisions in the Superannuation (Unclaimed Money and Lost Members) Act 1999 (C’wth). To enable the States and Territories to continue to receive unclaimed benefits, the Commonwealth legislation provided a transitional period to allow the States and Territories to amend their legislation to reflect the Commonwealth changes. The Commonwealth’s transitional period contemplates State and Territory legislation being amended by 31 December 2001.
	This Bill makes a series of amendments which will ensure the Act continues to reflect the requirements of the Commonwealth’s Superannuation (Unclaimed Money and Lost Members) Act 1999, and therefore ensure unclaimed benefits continue to be paid to the State Unclaimed Superannuation Benefits Register. The provisions of the Act are extended to include retirement savings accounts which are also covered by the Commonwealth legislation.
			(September 27, October 23, 30 - Act No. 56 of 2001)
VICTIMS OF CRIMES BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to give statutory recognition to victims of crime and the harm they have suffered, to establish principles governing how victims of crime are to be treated in the criminal justice system, to help victims of crime recover and to provide limited monetary compensation to victims most directly affected by criminal offending.
			(May 16, July 6, September 25, 26, October 30, 31 - Act No. 58 of 2001)
WEST BEACH RECREATION RESERVE (REVIEW) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to update the major provisions of the West Beach Recreation Reserve Act to provide a legislative framework for the efficient operations of the West Beach Trust ensuring that the Trust continues its role as a publicly accessible sporting, recreation, tourism and cultural facility.
	In particular, the amendments provide -
	• • • •	A clear statement of the role of the West Beach Trust with emphasis on the sporting, recreation, tourism and cultural role of the Reserve. A clear statement of the services to be delivered by the Trust through a Charter and Performance Statement. A requirement for the Board of the Trust to prepare a Strategic Plan and a Business Plan to enable the Trust to plan with confidence for the future (to be approved by the Minister). A Board consisting of people with experience pertinent to the roles, functions and performance agreements set out in the Bill.
			(July 4, 6, October 3, 4, 25 - Act No. 52 of 2001)
WORKERS REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION (DIRECTIONS OFFICERS) AMENDMENT BILL
	The purpose of this Bill is to create the position of Directions Officer for the South Australian Workers Compensation Tribunal.
	The Directions Officer will be responsible for ensuring that the parties have identified the real issues in dispute; have agreed all matters capable of agreement; have taken all reasonable steps to limit the duration of the hearing; and are able to proceed to trial on the dates allocated. The Act, as presently framed, would only allow a President of the Tribunal, under Section 81, or a Conciliation and Arbitration Officer to perform these functions.
	Parties appearing before the Workers Compensation Tribunal will benefit in matters being resolved within more acceptable time frames by increasing the preparedness of parties to proceed to trial thus expediting matters.
			(May 3, June 5, July 24, November 1 - Lapsed due to Prorogation)

	The purpose of this Bill is to amend section 9 of the Youth Court Act by substituting a new subsection (9) that has the effect of increasing the term for which a person can be a member of the Youth Court’s principal judiciary from 5 years to 10 years (including a series of terms that aggregates 10 years).
			(March 13, 27, 28, 29, April 10 - Act No. 14 of 2001)
