    The following reasoned amendment moved by Evan Mulholland (Opposition) was debated and defeated.

    That all the words after “That” be omitted and replaced with “the Bill be withdrawn and not reintroduced until the Government —
    (1) explains why it has rejected the Victorian Law Reform Commission recommendation to empower the Magistrates’ and Children’s Courts to discharge the accused on a relevant indictable charge or charges if satisfied that there is no reasonable prospect of conviction; and
    (2) commits to reviewing the implementation of the Bill to identify and remedy any demonstrable unfairness to defendants.”.
