Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 14 Hansard (10 December) . . Page.. 4648 ..

MR OSBORNE (continuing):

Where could that be, Mr Speaker? Where could Parrot Place be, Mr Speaker, in Civic? Mr Speaker, I have not - - -

Ms Follett: Mr Speaker, I take a point of order. I was under the impression that Mr Osborne was debating the motion and the amendment moved by Ms McRae. The document that he is reading from is not the 2020 report - I will say that again - and it is an indication that the Government's approach on that matter has been to misinform.

Mrs Carnell: It is the report of the Canberra in the Year 2020 Reference Group, the Canberra 2020: Vision for Prosperity.

Ms Follett: It is not the 2020 report. Nor is it the Government's response to that report.

MR SPEAKER: The Chair is not aware, but I would ask Mr Osborne to address his remarks to the amendment to Mr Moore's amendment, which was moved by Ms McRae.

Ms Follett: Get the right document, if you want to talk about it. I will give you a copy.

MR OSBORNE: I am quite happy to read the right document, Ms Follett; but I have not seen it yet, so, really, I cannot support this. It would not be fair of me to condemn this report without giving it a thorough reading. I am quite prepared to adjourn this debate and have a good look at it; but, if that is not fair, if that is not to be supported, then I cannot support it.

MR SPEAKER: The question is: That the amendment to Mr Moore's amendment be agreed to.

Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Can we clarify exactly what the amendment is, because I believe that Ms McRae is prepared to remove that first line. Perhaps she could read the actual amendment. Then it will be clear.

MR SPEAKER: Would you mind doing that, Ms McRae?

Ms McRae: Mr Speaker, I believe I need leave to remove the words "I move that before the report is noted,". It should start from "And further", because it will then follow logically.

MR SPEAKER: Do you seek leave to remove the words, "I move that before the report is noted,"?

Ms McRae: Yes. Is that okay? All right.

Leave granted.

Amendment (Ms McRae's) to Mr Moore's amendment agreed to.

Amendment (Mr Moore's), as amended, agreed to.

Motion, as amended, agreed to.
