Mary Henry (Independent)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 16, subsection (2)(a)(ii), line 26, after "state" to insert "or in the State".

I tabled this amendment because it appeared that if a person from outside the State was convicted in another State of an offence, the nature of which in the opinion of the council had a bearing on the person's fitness to practice, he or she would not be allowed to practice. However, it appears that a person is not excluded if he or she commits a crime in this State.
