Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1995 Week 10 Hansard (7 December) . . Page.. 2829 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):

involved enough to be able to provide for the kind of presumption Mr Moore was talking about. In general, my advice is that that is not the case, and therefore it would be inappropriate to take on board the suggestion Mr Moore made and, admittedly, did not proceed with.

Notwithstanding the comments from those opposite, I do hope this sends an unequivocal signal to the community that we are opposed to this practice and that we can indicate in an educative fashion that the Assembly wishes this practice not to be one that is adopted by people in this country. Mr Speaker, I table that advice.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.

Bill agreed to.

Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.
