Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 10 Hansard (24 September) . . Page.. 3230 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):

Morris Consolidated has paid a substantial deposit and is undertaking a preliminary assessment. The Territory is also committed to completing its part of the process. As I alluded to when I responded to Mr Wood, the question of compensation is an issue. It appears that Morris Consolidated would have grounds to claim compensation should the offer be withdrawn before that process is completed. The proponent is in the process of finalising the PA. The PA will provide further information on the impacts of the development. The community and the Assembly need this information to determine for themselves what impacts the development might have. I am advised that the PA should be with my department shortly. It will then be released for public comment.

PERSONAL EXPLANATION

MR BERRY (Leader of the Opposition): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a personal statement pursuant to standing order 46.

MR SPEAKER: Proceed.

MR BERRY: During question time Mrs Carnell created the impression that I would in some way renege on contracts that were agreed to in relation to Olympic soccer, the Raiders and other football codes at the Bruce Stadium. This is quite untrue. We will be bound by those contracts; but we want to find out what the community is being let in for, and we will continue to pursue our course until we do find out.
