Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 1 Hansard (22 February) . . Page.. 198 ..

MR DE DOMENICO: Had Ms McRae known anything about business, she would have realised that the Canberra Region Campaign Inc. is a private company.

Mr Berry: Well, go and ask them.

Ms McRae: It does not matter.

MR DE DOMENICO: Just quieten down and you will hear the facts. It is a private company.

Ms McRae: No, you are not the problem. I asked the Speaker to rule; not you.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MR DE DOMENICO: If Ms McRae had known anything about business, she would have realised that Canberra Region Campaign Inc. is a private company. From a search of the company records, the advice provided to Ms McRae was correct. I am advised that there was another board elected by the private company - - -

Ms Follett: Tell us who they were.

MR DE DOMENICO: Hold on a tick. This was at the annual general meeting in late 1995. However, that new board was never officially lodged with the ACT Registrar-General's Office and, therefore, has no legal status.

Ms McRae: It does not matter. Then why was I asked?

MR DE DOMENICO: It does matter. If you know anything about the law you will know that it matters. It has no legal status. As discussed yesterday, the previous board remains the officially registered board.

Ms McRae: That is not what your answer said, Mr De Domenico.

MR DE DOMENICO: It did, Ms McRae.

Ms McRae: Your answer said that I should ring the liquidator. It is outrageous.

MR DE DOMENICO: If you want any further information, Ms McRae - I do not know what further information you would require - as is normal practice with a private company, ring the provisional liquidator. The provisional liquidator is the only person that knows.

Ms Follett: It is a private company.

MR DE DOMENICO: It is a private company.

Ms McRae: That is exactly my point of order. It does not matter.
