The full text of the bill is here
Essentially one of the proposals is that s new section 76E be inserted, providing for pecuniary penalties, for breaches of 'a provision of Division 1 of Part V (other than s52)'.
This means that breaches of the various specific false/misleading representation provisions (including 'aiding/abetting/inducing etc') in s53 would potentially give rise to substantial penalties.
This change obviously goes well beyond misconduct by real estate agents.
