INSTITUTE OF TECHNICAL AND FURTHER EDUCATION
Annual Report for 1991
MR BERRY (Deputy Chief Minister): For the information of members, I present the annual report for the ACT Institute of Technical and Further Education for the year ended 31 December 1991, together with financial statements and the Auditor-General's report.
Motion (by Mr De Domenico), by leave, proposed:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Debate (on motion by Mr Cornwell) adjourned.
HARE-CLARK ELECTORAL LEGISLATION
Discussion of Matter of Public Importance
MADAM SPEAKER: I have received letters from Mrs Carnell, Mr Cornwell, Mr De Domenico, Mr Humphries, Mr Kaine, Mr Stevenson and Mr Westende proposing that matters of public importance be submitted to the Assembly.
Government members: A shonky deal.
MADAM SPEAKER: In accordance with standing order 79, I have determined that the matter proposed by Mr Humphries be submitted to the Assembly, namely:
The Chief Minister's six month delay in starting work on a Hare-Clark Electoral Bill for the ACT.
Mr Kaine: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. Mr Connolly said that this was a shonky deal. I was suspended from this Assembly for saying that. I ask that you have him withdraw that statement.
Mr Connolly: Madam Speaker, unlike the Leader of the Opposition, I withdraw immediately and unconditionally.
MADAM SPEAKER: Thank you, Mr Connolly.
Mr Lamont: I raise a point of order, Madam Speaker. I understand that the Leader of the Opposition was about to ask me to withdraw the same imputation. I am only too glad to say that I did say that it was a shonky deal for the six of them to put in exactly the same MPI, if in fact that was what they accused us of.
