That leave of absence from 12 to 14 September inclusive be given to Dr Kinloch on the grounds of ill health.

PETITION

The Clerk: The following petition has been lodged for presentation, and a copy will be referred to the appropriate Minister:

Education Cuts

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:

. that your petitioners are strongly opposed to cuts to the ACT education budget for the 1990-1991 financial year.

. that education should be given the highest priority in the allocation of funds since society as a whole benefits from a healthy education system.

. that the present high standard of education in the ACT cannot be maintained if further cuts are implemented.

. that additional revenue be raised to fund the ACT education system adequately by the introduction of progressive and equitable rates, charges or taxes which are determined by full consultation with the ACT community.
