I move government amendment (4) on sheet BW232:

(4)   Clause 11, page 16 (lines 14 to 20), omit the clause, substitute:

11 Modification of the NT Liquor Regulations

     The NT Liquor Regulations apply, while this Act is in effect, as if:   (a)   the following offences against the NT Liquor Act were police infringement offences for the purposes of those Regulations:      (i)   an offence against subsection 75B(1);      (ii)   an offence against subsection 75C(1) if the quantity of the ethyl alcohol involved in the commission of the offence is 1,350 ml or less;      (iii)   an offence against subsection 75F(1); and   (b)   the reference to section 75(1) of the NT Liquor Act in Part 1 of Schedule 2 to those Regulations included a reference to subsections 75B(1), 75C(1) and 75F(1) of that Act.

Note 1:   Section 8 of this Act includes sections 75B, 75C and 75F into the NT Liquor Act.

Note 2:   This Act ceases to have effect at the end of 10 years after commencement: see section 118.

This is part of the same set of amendments; it just inserts it into another part of the bill. I do not need to speak to it.
