Te!eonone 75 8570

June 27,1989

Mr David Prowse MLA

Speaker

ACT Legislative Assembly

GPO Box 1020

CANBERRA CITY ACT 2601

Dear Mr Prowse,

Mr A.R. Medley

I have to hand Mr Medleys letter of 21 June 1989 concerning my comments about him in the Legislative Assembly on 1 June 1989.

Whilst we have no doubt that the matters concerning Mr Medley should be appropriately investigated in due course, the very essence of the parliamentary process is the right to raise legitimate concerns fearlessly and after due enquiry. This was the case with my comments about Mr Medley.

I neither have nor had any pecuniary-interest in rental levels at Thetis Court, Manuka being premises owned by Named Pty. Ltd.

My arrangement with Mr Constance was that he move from Thetis Court to other premises and that in fact has taken place. I have absolutely no pecuniary interest in the rent Mr Constance paid to Named Pty. Ltd. Mr Constance is presently in the United States and I had no prior knowledge of or involvement in the arrangements he made in May 1989 to move. Mr Medleys suggestion is scandalous.

Yours sincerely,

BERNARD COLLAERY

Leader
