Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 10 Hansard (5 September) . . Page.. 3136 ..

Debate resumed from 16 May 1996, on motion by Mr Wood:

That the report be noted.

MR DE DOMENICO (Minister for Urban Services) (11.58): Mr Speaker, the Government has already presented its response, so I need say no more.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Debate resumed from 18 April 1996, on motion by Mr Wood:

That the report be noted.

Debate (on motion by Mr De Domenico) adjourned.

MS TUCKER: I seek leave to make a statement as chair of the Social Policy Committee.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: I have already made a statement regarding the inquiry into the use of skateboards in Canberra; but I felt that it was probably necessary to restate what the committee is doing there.

There has been some confusion in the community because of public statements by Mrs Carnell, who gave the impression that such an inquiry was not necessary because of the national road rules which are being developed at the moment. Mrs Carnell has actually enjoyed attacking Mr Berry over the past few days for his inaccuracy in the media; but I think, in this instance, Mrs Carnell did not do her homework before she attacked me and the committee. That is unfortunate, because I thought that all members in this place did actually respect the work of the committees and did not like to see them in any way denigrated unnecessarily.
