Debate resumed from 11 August 1992, on motion by Mr Berry:

Madam Speaker, there are a number of provisions here which need to be addressed quickly and which the ACT Opposition would like to see dealt with very quickly. In that light, we look forward to having them dealt with in the budget sittings.
