Other Bills, such as the Employment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2017 which would regulate and reform banded hours contracts that are important for workers, were also due to be discussed. Some Members might have an interest in that legislation. These matters, along with the Intoxicating Liquor (Breweries and Distilleries) Bill 2016, were listed last week and again this week. While this is fundamentally a matter for the Business Committee, but I ask that these Bills, which will pass readily, be listed as a priority before other legislation next week.
