PETITIONS
The Acting Clerk: The following petitions have been lodged for presentation, and a copy will be referred to the appropriate Minister:
Dog Control
To the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly:
On a daily basis, unleashed dogs of all sizes and temperaments roam the streets, fouling lawns and gardens. Recently, an unleashed german shepherd attacked and killed a much loved family cat resting within one metre of its own front door.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly increase fines to the same level as Western Australia, $400, for dogs caught roaming the streets or unleashed, unless in areas specified under the ACT Dog Ordinance. Any dog which attacks a person or a domestic animal should be put down, as it will attack again once it has tasted blood.
By Mrs Grassby (from 1,275 citizens)
ACT Casino Control Ordinance
To the Presiding Officer and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory assembled.
The humble petition of the undersigned citizens of the Australian Capital Territory respectfully showeth that your petitioners most humbly request the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory to repeal the Australian Capital Territory Casino Control Ordinance 1988.
