MINISTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, LAND AND PLANNING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 446

Labor Government Policies

Mr Kaine - asked the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning - Has his attention been drawn to Mr Languors statement concerning the return of land servicing where he stated that it has been part of the ALP.Governments platform since at least last year and thus, "should not have been news to the private sector" (The Canberra Times 17/6/91:

(1) Can the private sector anticipate all other ALP policies being-similarly implemented without notice, and

(2) Are there other unannounced policies and if so, when will the Government tell the electorate.

Mr Wood -.the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) I have already stated publicly that the ALP policy on land development will be phased in over a period and that details of implementation will be considered against a range of tests including cost, efficiency and emphasis in the provision of affordable land. I have also stated that the Government will consult the private sector on the matter and I have already had meetings with MOCHA and HIA representatives.

(2) The ALP has a system which requires public debate and resolution of all policies in a democratic and open manner.
