People who oppose the casino because it represents change and something new in Canberra ought to remember that history and should not be frightened by the prospect of having a small and appropriate casino in the location proposed by this project. I thank members who are supporting the Bill and I trust that the members who are not supporting it will have their concerns allayed as the project develops.

Question put:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

The bells being rung -

MADAM TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER (Mrs Grassby): Mr Stevenson has sent a message saying that he is not coming.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 13  NOES, 3 

Mr Berry Mr Collaery
Mr Connolly Mr Jensen
Mr Duby Dr Kinloch
Ms Follett
Mrs Grassby
Mr Humphries
Mr Kaine
Ms Maher
Mr Moore
Mrs Nolan
Mr Prowse
Mr Stefaniak
Mr Wood

Question so resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Detail Stage

Clauses 1 to 8, by leave, taken together, and agreed to.

Clause 9

MR JENSEN (5.27): We have already spoken in relation to the planning issues. We believe that only by rejecting this clause of the Bill will the proper planning process be allowed to proceed and no decisions of any sort take place until the community consultation process has been completed. That is why we will be voting against this clause.
