in between the times when the Assembly is sitting. It may become necessary for us to report. We are looking particularly at theatre spaces at this stage and it might be appropriate if we were to bring down an interim report in case anything is to be decided about the casino and the use of spaces on section 19.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
STANDING ORDER 229 - AMENDMENT
MR JENSEN (6.05), by leave: I move:
That standing order 229 be amended by omitting the words "within the Territory".
I understand that there has been some concern about the standing order. My motion would enable members to carry out committee business outside the ACT.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
DAY OF NEXT MEETING
Motion (by Mr Duby) agreed to:
That the Assembly, at its rising, adjourn until Tuesday, 7 August 1990, at 2.30 pm, unless the Speaker fixes an alternative day or hour of meeting on receipt of a request in writing from an absolute majority of members.
BELCONNEN REMAND CENTRE
Discussion of Matter of Public Importance
MR STEVENSON: A short while ago Mr Collaery misled this house. He said that the matter that I raised as a matter of public importance should not be heard today because it is sub judice. That is not correct; the matter is not sub judice.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Stevenson, for your advice there. In that case I will call on the MPI. I have received a letter from Mr Stevenson requesting that a matter of public importance be submitted to the Assembly for discussion, namely:
The mismanagement of the Belconnen Remand Centre, the apparent victimisation and set-up of staff members Barry Albrighton, Carol Connelly and possibly others, and the lack of investigation of these matters by the Attorney-General, Bernard Collaery.
