ISSUE:

Drafting

Item 12 of the schedule to this instrument provides:

12. ...

Unlike the other numbered items in the schedule, there is no amendment specified in the item. The same occurs in relation to items 7 and 23, and within item 59 of the schedule. It is not clear whether this formulation is intentional. The committee therefore requests further information from the minister.
