MAUREEN PUGH (National): Thank you, Mr Speaker. I stand in support of the Local Government (Pecuniary Interests Register) Amendment Bill tonight in its second reading. Although I haven't been part of the Governance and Administration Committee, so I haven't had the privilege of hearing the submissions, I have read several of them. But mainly the provisions of this bill seek to insert new sections into the Local Government Act that look to provide openness and transparency in the local government sector, and in particular to the councillors that are elected to those councils.
