Wednesday, 17 October 1990

__________________________

MR SPEAKER (Mr Prowse) took the chair at 10.30 am and read the prayer.

PETITION

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

School Closures - Weetangera Primary School

To the Honourable the Speaker and members of the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly.

The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that:

1. the ACT Government based its decision to close Weetangera Primary School on inaccurate and inadequate information provided to the Government.

2. we totally reject this decision and will continue to work in opposition to it.

The petitioners therefore pray that the Assembly direct the ACT Government not to close Weetangera Primary School.

By Dr Kinloch (from 1,163 citizens).

Petition received.

MR NELSON MANDELA

MS FOLLETT (Leader of the Opposition) (10.31): I am very pleased to move:

That the ACT Legislative Assembly -

(1) welcomes the visit to Australia by Mr Nelson Mandela, Vice-President of the African National Congress of South Africa;

(2) applauds Mr Mandela's courage in consistently advocating a free, democratic and non-racial South Africa during his 27 years of unjustified political imprisonment;
