Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 8 Hansard (27 August) . . Page.. 2480 ..

MR SPEAKER: I would like to recognise the presence in the gallery of a local government study group from Kaleen High School. Welcome to your Assembly.

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General) (10.32): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to move a motion regarding the recording of proceedings today.

Leave granted.

MR HUMPHRIES: I thank members. I move:

That the Assembly authorises:

(1) the recording on video tape without sound by television networks of proceedings during question time today, Wednesday, 27 August 1997;

(2) the use by any television station of any part of the recorded proceedings in subsequent news, current affairs and documentary programs and not for the purposes of satire or ridicule; and

(3) the taking of still photographs during question time today, Wednesday, 27 August 1997, and the use of such photographs in the print media generally.

This is basically in substitution for yesterday's motion. With question time being put back yesterday, it was not possible for television stations to take the footage that they required, and this will permit them to do so today.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
