Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 7 Hansard (26 June) . . Page.. 2284 ..

MR WOOD (9.38): Mr Speaker, I ask for leave to move a motion circulated in my name concerning a reference to a committee.

Leave granted.

MR WOOD: I move:

That the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs inquire into and report on:

(1) the nature and incidence of juvenile crime in the ACT;

(2) the adequacy of services to deal with the factors which may contribute to criminal activity by young people;

(3) the adequacy of services to deal with those young people who do come in conflict with the law.

The Committee shall take account of the work of the Committee on Social Policy in its inquiry into "Children and Youth at Risk".

Members have copies of this motion in front of them. It concerns a reference to the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs to inquire into the nature and incidence of juvenile crime in the ACT. I effectively spoke to this during debate a little while ago on the budget. I will not say any more than that now, unless some query arises.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR OSBORNE: I ask for leave to move a motion calling on the Government to establish a board of inquiry into the racing industry.

Leave not granted.

Motion (by Mr Osborne) agreed to, with the concurrence of an absolute majority:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent Mr Osborne from moving a motion calling on the Government to establish a Board of Inquiry into the racing industry.
