SKIN PENETRATION PROCEDURES BILL 1994
Detail Stage
Clause 1
Debate resumed from 29 November 1994.
Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer): Madam Speaker, I seek your leave, under standing order 46, to make a personal explanation.
MADAM SPEAKER: Proceed, Ms Follett.
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, the Canberra Times of 26 November carried an article entitled "Rare Fauna Halt Development". That article contained a statement which I will quote:
The Chief Minister, Rosemary Follett, announced in March that the Symonston high-tech park would attract 25 manufacturers to the ACT, generate up to 500 jobs among the manufacturers and up to 300 more in service industries.
Madam Speaker, members might recall that that statement was the subject of questioning to me yesterday. I would like to advise, Madam Speaker, that the statement that is attributed to me in the Canberra Times is not one that I, in fact, have made, and the journalist, in preparing this article, did not contact either me or my office. I would like to table, for the information of members, a copy of the statement which I did make on 11 March 1994 concerning the new advanced technology manufacturing park, the speech which I made to the Canberra Region Advanced Technology Manufacturing Association on the same date, and the Canberra Times article on the technology park on 12 March 1994. Members will be able to see that none of those documents contains that statement either.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion (by Mr Berry) agreed to:
