MR HUMPHRIES: I believe that Shakespeare was the author of that play - a rather older playwright, but perhaps better known than Frank Wedekind. Madam Speaker, this was an equally enjoyable evening of entertainment. I think people often forget that Shakespeare's comedies really are comedies and A Midsummer Night's Dream was and is one of the best. It was a bit of a surprise on my part. I spent the evening racked with laughter. It was an extremely enjoyable evening of entertainment. The students again performed the play with tremendous intelligence and it was directed by Maria Kelliher. Madam Speaker, I obviously cannot recommend that members attend either of those plays because their seasons have now ended, but I can say to members that if they want a good night's entertainment they should think about going along to what their local college is doing. If the evidence I have seen over the last four or five years is any indication, they will rarely be disappointed.
Removal of Trees - Palmerston
MS SZUTY (4.36): In case members were wondering why I sought leave to table the response to a question on notice, I would like to address the question in the following way. My first question was: Who were the builders responsible for the felling and removal of trees in Palmerston, as referred to in Mr Wood's media statement of 28 September 1992, who were in clear breach of development conditions? The lessees of the two blocks in question are Pendon Constructions and Pratezina Homes Pty Ltd. These companies also hold the building permits for construction on the said blocks. I think that is about all I need to say at this stage.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 4.36 pm until Tuesday, 8 December 1992, at 2.30 pm
