I move the opposition's amendment on sheet 3164:

(1)—Schedule 4, page 48 (after line 4), after item 5, insert:

5A At the end of section 237

Add:

Registrar in each State, in the Australian Capital Territory and in the Northern Territory

(3) The Principal Registrar must ensure that at least one registrar is appointed in each State, in the Australian Capital Territory and in the Northern Territory.

5B Section 243

Repeal the section, substitute:

243 Registries

The Minister must cause such registries of the Tribunal to be established as the Minister thinks fit, but so that at least one registry shall be established in each State, in the Australian Capital Territory and in the Northern Territory.

Question agreed to.
