Not-For-Profit Sector Freedom to Advocate Bill 2013
24/09/2013
The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (17:35): I will speak very briefly but very freely as is fitting with the theme of this bill today to support the second reading and further passage of the Not-For-Profit Sector Freedom to Advocate Bill 2013. I thank Meagan Hackett from minister Piccolo’s office for arranging a briefing for my office by the appropriate officer within the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion. I also acknowledge that SACOSS, as the peak body for the communities services sector, has written to Dignity for Disability and is strongly supportive of the measures in this bill and would like it passed expeditiously. In keeping with the request of SACOSS, I will hold up the passage of this bill no longer. I commend the second reading of this bill to the chamber.
