(Quorum formed)

MR SPEAKER (Mr Cornwell) took the chair and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.

The Clerk: The following petitions have been lodged for presentation:

By Mr Berry, from 957 residents, requesting that the Assembly require the Minister for Urban Services to ensure that the services to Kippax, in particular the 409 bus route via Wirraway Crescent, are retained.

By Mr Hird, from 30 residents, requesting that the lease and development application for the community sporting facilities in McKellar be approved.

The terms of these petitions will be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate Minister.

The petition read as follows:

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory:

The petition of certain residents of the ACT draws to the attention of the Assembly the proposed cuts and changes to Bus Service 409 to Kippax. The 409 Bus Service is the sole means by which many in the Scullin area, and in particular the aged and physically handicapped residents of Collingrove Units, gain access to the health, banking, shopping, library and postal services at Kippax. The Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Urban Services, Mr De Domenico, in Bus Book 96, gave his commitment to the "most efficient and effective public transport service in the country".
