assume for one moment that was what the Residents Rally indeed did, clearly it was asking for a particular value; it was asking for a particular pay level for members. The Liberal Party was not doing that. The Chief Minister misrepresents my question and my party in saying that we did. If the Chief Minister were to set the level of remuneration for members at $40,000, for example, and then provide 25 per cent in addition for other party leaders, that would not result in a higher level of income than the Government had originally proposed.
Ms Follett: Only 25 per cent higher?
MR HUMPHRIES: The Chief Minister clearly cannot understand the question I have asked. I apologise for the complexity of the issue I raised, but the issue is still validly raised, and I would be happy to explain to the Chief Minister afterwards what I mean.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Humphries. Please proceed, Chief Minister.
MS FOLLETT: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I have tabled the documents, but I think any fool can see that 25 per cent over a particular level of income is an increase in that level of income.
Cotter Reserve Playground
MRS GRASSBY: I have an answer to a question asked by Dr Kinloch about play equipment at Cotter Reserve. The policy is that all equipment in ACT parks and reserves is inspected regularly, and repairs are made to damaged and unsafe equipment. The Cotter Reserve is one of the oldest recreation reserves in the ACT and is currently being upgraded. As part of these works, play equipment is being modernised, with the emphasis on safety. The work on the play equipment will commence in March 1990, following the finalisation of planning and design.
Travel Agents
MR WHALAN: I have a brief answer to a question from Ms
Nolan on 26 September, in which she asked me whether there were still unregistered travel agents in the ACT. My response is that there is one unlicensed travel agent operating in the ACT, of which the Registrar of Agents is aware. The registrar is presently taking action against this person to prevent him from continuing to trade without a licence. Appropriate action will be taken by the registrar if other cases are brought to his attention.
