Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (15:38): I give notice that, on the next day of sitting, I shall move: That the provisions of paragraphs (5) to (8) of standing order 111 not apply to the ANL Legislation Repeal Bill 2019, allowing it to be considered during this period of sittings. I also table the statement of reasons justifying the need for this bill to be considered during these sittings and seek leave to have the statement incorporated into Hansard. Leave granted. The statement read as follows — ANL LEGISLATION REPEAL BILL STATEMENT OF REASONS FOR INTRODUCTION AND PASSAGE IN THE 2019 WINTER/SPRING SITTINGS Purpose of the Bill The bill repeals the ANL Act 1956 and ANL Guarantee Act 1994 to remove impediments to businesses using protected names and also removes unnecessary and outdated legislation. Reasons for Urgency Provisions in the largely defunct ANL Act 1956 relating to protected business names are unintentionally preventing a small number of maritime businesses from registering or re-registering trademarks and websites. Retention of the protected name provisions appears to be a historical oversight. Several permissions and interim arrangements which have allowed these businesses to operate under the protected names are due to expire from late 2019. A range of pending applications cannot be approved until impediments in the ANL Act 1956 are addressed. Failure to remove these impediments is likely to have substantial negative financial and operational impacts on these businesses. Repeal of the ANL Act 1956 and the ANL Guarantee Act 1994 is appropriate as the remaining provisions have ceased to have legal or practical effect. Passage of the bill in 2019 is required to remove protected name provisions impeding businesses as soon as possible, and to implement a permanent solution that will provide ongoing operational certainty and support confidence in investment. (Circulated by authority of the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, the Hon Michael McCormack MP)
