Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 9 Hansard (2 September) . . Page.. 2711 ..

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:

The lack of regular and direct ACTION bus services between Civic and the suburbs of Ngunnawal, Amaroo and Nicholls.

The unfair nature of this situation which makes residents pay a double fare to travel to Civic, either by catching two buses or by catching the limited commuter service.

The unfair difference in bus services for residents in these suburbs compared with the direct service to Civic available for residents in Palmerston.

Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to:

Improve the ACTION bus service for residents in the suburbs of Ngunnawal, Amaroo and Nicholls by providing direct services to Civic throughout the day.

Petitions received.

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister): Mr Speaker, pursuant to standing order 268, I move:

That an Address to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in the following terms be agreed to:

YOUR MAJESTY:

We, the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory, wish to express our sorrow at the sad news of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. On behalf of the people of the Australian Capital Territory, we convey our deepest sympathy to Your Majesty and the Royal family, especially Their Royal Highnesses, Prince William of Wales and Prince Henry of Wales, in your bereavement.
