MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, under standing order 46 I seek leave to correct - - -
MR SPEAKER: Do you claim to have been misrepresented?
MR COLLAERY: Yes.
MR SPEAKER: Please proceed.
MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, there was a suggestion that the Rally gave an ultimatum yesterday. In my earlier speech I indicated that the day after the Government fell Mr Berry said that a person named John - I will not use the rest of his name - was being appointed to review the matter immediately. In conversation with Mr Jensen, a time period of a month was mentioned. We do not even know yet whether that person has been appointed.
Mr Berry: He has not been. I told you that all bets were off.
MR COLLAERY: There we are, Mr Speaker. Interjecting, Mr Berry says that all bets are off. So, the fact remains that I cannot even get back to the staffing level I had when I was formerly in opposition. The Labor Party has done a good job on the Rally. It is not correct and it misrepresents the position to state that the Rally was equivocating and was bargaining for its own interests, for its own comfort in the matter. Mr Berry will be proven incorrect in due course, when this debate resumes.
SECONDARY EDUCATION IN WESTON CREEK
MRS NOLAN (11.16): I move:
That this Assembly -
(1) notes that the majority of parents and citizens in the Weston Creek area support an amalgamation of the Holder campus and Waramanga campus onto one site;
(2) condemns the Follett Government for its failure to listen and accede to the community's wishes for that amalgamation to be completed by the start of the school year 1991;
(3) and further condemns the Follett Government for its failure to provide funds immediately to refurbish and consolidate the Stromlo High School campus for the start of 1992; and
(4) calls on the Follett Government to announce immediately its plans for secondary students in Weston Creek.
