ADJOURNMENT

That the Assembly do now adjourn.
Tuggeranong BMX Club
MR DE DOMENICO (4.34): Madam Speaker, I would like to talk briefly about the Tuggeranong BMX Club, and I call this a sorry saga. On 14 May I received a call from a Ms Julie Haynes of the Tuggeranong BMX Club. Last July, I am advised, the club received a phone call from the Office of Sport and Recreation asking the club to move from its Wanniassa site because of the undesirable element from the local high school which was using the club's premises to hang out and drink, et cetera. One wonders what the "et cetera" is.
Mr Wood: Look, just be a bit careful there.
MR DE DOMENICO: That is why I said, "One wonders". I am in wonderment of these things, Mr Wood. The club was well aware of the problem, and it had to clean up afterwards - bottles and syringes - and fix vandalised equipment.
Mr Wood: I am sorry you have mentioned a high school there. Are you assuming? You do not know where these kids came from.
MR DE DOMENICO: I said that it was close to the Wanniassa High School site, Mr Wood, if you had listened.
Mr Wood: I just think a more cautious use of language is called for.
