Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I move: That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to amend section 33 of the Domestic Violence Act 2018 for the purpose of providing for an indictable offence under that section, to amend the Schedule to the Bail Act 1997 so as to include a reference to an offence under the said section 33, and to provide for related matters. When is it proposed to take Second Stage?

Senator Norris, as this is your final act as Senator and Member of House, I again thank you most sincerely and wish you many years of happy retirement.
