Local Government Bill 2003: Report and Final Stages.
2:30 pm
Joanna Tuffy (Labour)
The Minister has said he would not tolerate a situation where a Deputy or a Senator could run for a local authority and then not take the seat, yet in the Bill he is permitting a person to run for two local authorities but hold one seat. That creates an artificial situation which contradicts what he has just said.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
