Mr Kaine: That would have been the Alliance Government.
MR WOOD: I rather fancy that it predates that, Mr Kaine. I am sure that all members would support that. Mr Jensen, I think that your question has been rather misjudged because it has not taken into account the realities of the situation in the ACT.
MR JENSEN: I ask a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. It is more a supplementary request to have the last part of my question answered in relation to the establishment of an Aboriginal keeping place to include a lease of a sufficient area for meetings and traditional activities. I am fully aware of the land rights situation.
Mr Wood: An Aboriginal what?
MR JENSEN: A keeping place. Read your heritage legislation, Mr Wood.
MR WOOD: That is obviously a matter that will be considered. In the time I have been Minister I have had approaches from at least one Aboriginal group for a particular site. It is one that is presently being considered. As the new legislation comes into place, Mr Jensen, we will be giving full consideration to the matter you raised.
Ms Follett: Mr Speaker - - -
MR SPEAKER: Chief Minister, I beg your indulgence to allow another question from Mr Duby.
Ms Follett: I do not care to be indulgent, Mr Speaker, and I ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper.
MR SPEAKER: The point I was trying to make, Chief Minister, was that I cut Mr Duby off. He was explaining a question and I took it as a supplementary question; so I would ask that we allow him to have that supplementary question.
Public Housing
MR DUBY: Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is directed to Mr Connolly as Minister for Housing. Let us see whether he can get an academy award.
MR SPEAKER: Order! I thought it was a supplementary question to Mr Berry. I will allow a supplementary question to Mr Berry, but certainly not a second question, Mr Duby.
