MADAM SPEAKER (Ms McRae) took the chair at 10.30 am and read the prayer.
PETITIONS
The Clerk: The following petitions have been lodged for presentation:
By Mr Westende and Mr Stevenson, from 2,716 and 22 residents, respectively, requesting that the Assembly legislate to permit the use of exotic and other animals in circuses.
The terms of these petitions will be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate Minister.
Circus Animals
The petition read as follows:
To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
The petition of certain residents of the ACT drew to the attention of the Assembly that we support the traditional circus that has exotic and other animals as part of its presentations as long as strict conditions are applied in terms of the welfare of the animals.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to legislate to permit the use of exotic and other animals in circuses.
