Hon Trevor Mallard, in Committee, to move the following amendment:
New clause 12DC
To insert the following new clause (after line 2 on page 25):
12DC Offences
Section 139AZ(2) is amended by omitting “$1,000”
and substituting “$100,000”
.
Explanatory note
This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Education Amendment Bill (No 2) to increase the fine for a breach of an order made by the Disciplinary Tribunal (to provide for a hearing to be held in private; or provide for evidence at a hearing to be given in private; or impose restrictions on the publication of any information relating to a particular hearing) to $100,000. This is a substantial increase which will act as a serious deterrent for breaches of orders.
