Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 10 Hansard (4 September) . . Page.. 3109 ..

Mr Wood: They do it all the time.

MR SPEAKER: I know. Both sides do it, and I have had enough. If people are going to start getting tossed out, I will be even-handed, I can assure you.

MR HUMPHRIES: It is very sad, Mr Speaker, that those opposite hate to think that their very peculiar views - that there is perhaps no link between the service of alcohol and other problems associated with the abuse of alcohol in our community - are not shared by their colleagues in New South Wales. I accurately quoted Mr Face in pointing out the link between those things. Mr Face did say - and Ms Follett can quote the rest of the things she did not quote today - that, in his view, there was potentially a link between those things. Mr Speaker, I think Ms Follett and her colleagues ought to accept that there is a real need for us to take this trial further, to see whether there is an application of these trading hours restrictions in the ACT, and that is exactly what we are doing.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
