Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 14 Hansard (11 December) . . Page.. 4776 ..

MR BERRY (continuing):

I appreciate the financial situation of the ACT Government. However, when financial restraint is required then it is the luxuries that should be chopped and not basic services. For example, I would much prefer to have clean streets in Florey than that ugly futsal stadium in the city. I believe that the money that I pay in rates should at the very least provide a reliable garbage collection service, a clean and functional environment in which to live ...

and so on. Mr Speaker, this is an attitude which is developing in the community because of the Government's failure to consult properly on the futsal stadium which was built in the city. The Government should take note that an attitude has permeated the community because of the arrogance and refusal to consult on such issues.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
