Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 6 Hansard (17 June) . . Page.. 1654 ..

PERSONAL EXPLANATION

MR CORBELL: I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

MR SPEAKER: Leave is granted.

MR CORBELL: In question time today the Chief Minister suggested that I had had a conversion on the road to Damascus regarding the very high speed train. I was grossly misrepresented by the Chief Minister, but that is not unusual. I would like to place on the record, as I have previously, that the Labor Party has never been opposed to the very high speed train project. The Labor Party, unlike this Government, wants to make sure that the ACT is prepared to maximise the benefits and to avoid any pitfalls in the development of a very high speed train. I made those points very clear in my speech regarding the establishment of the Economic Development and Tourism Committee's inquiry into the economic impact of a very high speed train. Unlike the Government, we will not be relying on cargo cult politics alone to get the ACT out of its current financial mess. We will plan for the future, and the inquiry into the very high speed train is part of that process.
