PAULO GARCIA: Yes, but others do not. The bill is then scheduled for a second reading, followed by consideration by the committee of the whole House. The third reading then follows. That debate will then be held and, once completed, voting will be commenced. The entire process takes approximately six months. The Electoral (Registration of Sentenced Prisoners) Amendment Bill was at the point of consideration by the committee of the whole House when the Green Party SOP 518 was taken up and voted on. The resulting inconsistency would soon become evident. Addressing one of the points of the members on the other side, my National colleague the Hon Dr Nick Smith did attempt to have the bill referred back to select committee, but this offer was rejected. There was opportunity and time for the bill to have been corrected at that point. So when there are speeches that tend to show that there was no opportunity for correction after the SOP had been voted on and passed, they are incorrect. There was opportunity. The opportunity was presented; the opportunity was rejected.
