I move amendment No. 3:

"PART 1

PRELIMINARY AND GENERALShort title, collective citation and construction.

1. (1) This Act may be cited as the National Minimum Wage (Low Pay Commission) Act 2015.

(2) This Act (other thanPart 3) and the National Minimum Wage Act 2000 may be cited together as the National Minimum Wage Acts 2000 and 2015 and shall be construed together as one Act.".

Amendments Nos. 3, 4, 28 and 29 are technical amendments. Section 9 of the Bill, as published, provides for the repeal of a number of sections of the 2000 Act. As drafted, section 10 provides for the Short Title, collective citation and construction of the Bill arising from the insertion of a Part 3 to the Bill to facilitate amendments to the Workplace Relations Act 2015 and other enactments. These provisions are being moved to sections 1 and 2, respectively. Amendments Nos. 28 and 29 provide for the deletion of the construction and repeal provisions contained in sections 9 and 10 of the Bill as published.
