For the information of members, it is the Government's intention to examine, as a priority, all legislation that is listed on the notice paper today, with a view to reintroducing that legislation that it considers appropriate as soon as possible. The Government will also be considering all its items of private members' business listed today with a similar view.
MR KAINE (6.56): I just wanted to note, Mr Speaker, the importance of some of the matters that are now being removed from the notice paper. I accept Mr Berry's assurance that these matters will be brought back onto the agenda; but I note the fact that there are matters here of great importance, and I will just run through a few of them.
There is the report on the implementation of the former Government's Blueprint for the Ageing - a very important matter for our senior citizens. There is a paper on the Commonwealth Grants Commission. There are the ministerial statement and papers concerning the draft legislation for planning and land use. There is the Auditor-General's efficiency audit concerning the use of ACT Government vehicles. Those are all matters listed under executive business.
Turning to private members' business, there are matters such as the Landlord and Tenant (Rental Bonds) Bill, which I am sure Mr Connolly will bring forward again. There is a motion concerning the Weetangera Primary School, although I notice that the Weetangera Primary School has disappeared off the agenda of recent times. There is a motion concerning quality teaching. There is another one concerning the Griffin Centre and what might be done on the site round there for a community centre. There is the Civic Square redevelopment project, the Publications Control (Amendment) Bill brought up by Mr Stevenson, a matter concerning disabilities in children and another one concerning the Human Rights Bill.
Those are all matters of major concern and I think that the Assembly should note that those matters were on the agenda for discussion under the business of the previous Government. I know that Mr Berry and the Government will bring those matters back. They need to come back for consideration by the Assembly at the earliest possible time because they are matters of great concern to elements of this community.
