MRS R.M.J. CLARKE (Murray–Wellington) [8.01 pm]: Prior to the dinner break, I was in the middle of my speech. On 23 August 2017, the Parliament established a joint select committee of the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council to inquire into and report on the need for laws in Western Australia to allow citizens to make informed decisions regarding their own end-of-life choices. The Joint Select Committee on End of Life Choices was formed. The terms of reference included — a) assess the practices currently being utilised within the medical community to assist a person to exercise their preferences for the way they want to manage their end of life when experiencing chronic and/or terminal illnesses, including the role of palliative care; b) review the current framework of legislation, proposed legislation and other relevant reports and materials in other Australian States and Territories and overseas jurisdictions; c) consider what type of legislative change may be required, including an examination of any federal laws that may impact such legislation; and d) examine the role of Advanced Health Directives, Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Power of Guardianship laws and the implications for individuals covered by these instruments in any proposed legislation.

QUIGLEY (Butler — Attorney General) [4.09 pm]: In accordance with standing order 168(2), I move — That the bill be considered an urgent bill. Perhaps the opposition could indicate its consent for this motion. MR S.K. L’ESTRANGE (Churchlands) [4.09 pm]: Yes; we are happy to proceed to the second reading. Question put and passed. Second Reading Resumed from 22 November. DR A.D. BUTI (Armadale) [4.10 pm]: I stand to contribute to the second reading debate on the incredibly important Civil Liability Legislation Amendment (Child Sexual Abuse Actions) Bill 2017. When the Attorney General introduced this bill to the house last week, he stated — On behalf of the McGowan state Labor government and the people of Western Australia, it gives me great pleasure to introduce this bill that fulfils an election commitment to remove the limitation periods in respect of civil actions for child sexual abuse. As members will be aware, this is a historic bill. In some respects, the government’s legislation will go further than any similar legislation in any other Australian jurisdiction to date. Those words are very important. It is a very historic bill and, in some respects, it does go further than any other jurisdiction in Australia, which is quite interesting because until this bill is passed, Western Australia has arguably the most draconian Limitation Act in Australia.
