we attended. Mrs Grassby and I are looking forward to renewing the acquaintance of some of the members of the Victorian scrutiny committee when we see them next week and meeting some of the members we have not met before. I am sure that Mr Humphries will look forward to that occasion also.
In conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed the time I had away, in addition to the work that was accomplished, which I believe was considerable. I believe that such conferences enable us to take the opportunity to get to know members from other parliaments and exchange views and ideas, and for that reason the conference was very beneficial, very worth while, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
CONSERVATION, HERITAGE AND ENVIRONMENT -
STANDING COMMITTEE
Discussion Paper on Feral Animals and Invasive Plants
MR MOORE (12.21): I seek leave to move a motion relating to the preparation, printing and circulation of a discussion paper on feral animals and invasive plants.
Leave granted.
MR MOORE: I move:
That the Standing Committee on Conservation, Heritage and Environment:
(1) prepare a discussion paper on its inquiry into the effects that feral animals and plants have on the natural environment of the ACT announced in the Assembly on 16 February 1993;
(2) if the Assembly is not sitting when the Committee has completed the preparation of the discussion paper, the Committee may send the paper to the Speaker or, in the absence of the Speaker, to the Deputy Speaker, who is authorised to give directions for its printing and circulation; and
(3) the foregoing provisions of this resolution have effect notwithstanding anything contained in the Standing Orders.
The committee is nearly ready to present its discussion paper on feral plants and animals, and it seemed to us to be most beneficial to the community and to the Assembly if we had the ability to publish this paper out of session.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
