Hon EUGENIE SAGE (Green): Thank you, Mr Speaker. The Green Party is opposing the Education and Training (Teaching Council Fees and Costs) Amendment Bill. It has been rehearsed that the Teaching Council is the statutory body. It's an independent statutory body. Not only does it handle the certification of teachers; it investigates teachers' misconduct, handles professional complaints, and provides professional leadership. But this bill is retrospective. This bill will have an impact on teachers' incomes.
