the assistants and supporters of CANA is of course a member of the personal staff of the Chief Minister here in the Assembly. What I ask ... is this: In view of those facts ... would you please outline to the house how Mr Berry is unaware of the situation that the CANA group is in.
Without going into detail about the position of CANA, because it is dealt with in my response to Mr Humphries which will be incorporated in Hansard, I think it is necessary to point out to the Assembly that members of various political parties and their own personal staff are often involved in a private capacity in organisations such as this. Mr Collaery seemed to be suggesting that there is something untoward about their involvement
Mr Collaery: I am suggesting no such thing.
MR BERRY: In any event, they are involved in these sorts of organisations, and from whatever political party they come the Government appreciates the contribution that these sorts of people make to the community.
National Aquarium
MR WHALAN: Mr Speaker, with your indulgence, I would like to read out the lease purpose clause to the National Aquarium site, to satisfy the undertaking that I gave during question time that I would provide this information today.
Leave granted.
MR WHALAN: The lease purpose clause provides that the land is to be used only for the purpose of a fish farm for the production, display and sale of trout and other approved species of fish or crustacea and ancillary thereto a tourist service facility constituting an aquarium, a visual display facility, a restaurant, a kiosk and concessions, and a manager's residence.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, I wish to make a short personal explanation.
MR SPEAKER: Do you claim to have been misrepresented?
MR COLLAERY: Yes, I claim to have been misrepresented by Mr Berry. Mr Speaker, Mr Berry in an answer referring to the CANA homeless youth institution at Manuka said that I had imputed or said that there was something untoward in the involvement of Mr Terry Higgins, QC, and of another gentleman who is a member of the Chief Minister's staff.
