Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 7 Hansard (26 June) . . Page.. 2152 ..

Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve

The petition read as follows:

To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory:

The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly: that the intention of the Carnell government to impose entry fees on Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is a retrograde step which will restrict the access of Canberrans to this uniquely Canberran resource. It must be condemned.

Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: take immediate action to defeat this budget move and maintain free access to Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve.

Petitions received.

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister) (10.33): I present the Remuneration Tribunal (Consequential Amendments) Bill 1997, together with its explanatory memorandum.

MRS CARNELL: I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

Mr Speaker, I ask for leave for my presentation speech to be incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Speech incorporated at Appendix 5.
