Mr Wood referred in his comments to strong controls about this in the legislation. I am afraid, Mr Speaker, that I have not seen the strong controls that Mr Wood is talking about. I have just given you an indication of what those "strong controls" are. Strong controls? What a lot of rubbish. There are no strong controls. There is no review by this Assembly. It is not even a disallowable instrument; it is a statement in the Gazette. Quite clearly, Mr Speaker, any statement about strong controls is a lot of nonsense and a line that Mr Wood is seeking to promote within this Assembly.

I am disappointed about the line taken by Mr Wood on this. I think that deep down he may have some concerns about the issue of defined land and its future; but he is not prepared at this stage to make the necessary changes or seek to review, in a sensible, open, consultative way, the changes that are required. On that basis, Mr Speaker, I can say that I am disappointed in the attitude of Mr Wood. I commend this motion to the Assembly and trust that it will obtain majority support.

Question put:

That the motion (Mr Jensen's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 5  NOES, 12 

Mr Collaery Mr Berry
Mr Jensen Mr Connolly

Mr Stevenson Mrs Grassby
 Mr Humphries
 Mr Kaine
 Ms Maher
 Mrs Nolan
 Mr Prowse
 Mr Stefaniak
 Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the negative.
