Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 8 Hansard (26 August) . . Page.. 2364 ..

MR MOORE:

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 respectfully draws the attention of the House to the issue of legalising voluntary euthanasia for the terminally ill.

Your petitioners request the Assembly to pass a Bill allowing for a Territory-wide Referendum on the matter of legalising strictly and properly regulated voluntary euthanasia for the terminally ill.

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 ACT Department of Education and Training are reviewing preschool enrolment policy and procedures which, if implemented, would discriminate against children from NSW whose parents work in the ACT and who are currently enrolled on equal terms with children from the ACT at the Nipperville Kindergarten and Nursery.

Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: require the Government to maintain the current policy and procedures for the enrolment of preschool children from NSW whose parents work in the ACT or provide an exemption for the Nipperville Kindergarten and Nursery.
