Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 10 Hansard (25 September) . . Page.. 3369 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

that Ms McRae raised is the issue of universal education - access to education by everybody. I know that I found it very difficult to find the money to pursue that education, and my salary is on the record. It seems to me that it is a very sad thing that our society has reached the stage where we are charging people to do further study - which, of course, will wind up enhancing society as a whole. I think it is a very misguided policy. If I can possibly bring an influence to bear on that policy, I will do so and, hopefully, work with people like Ms McRae to ensure that everybody has access to that kind of opportunity. It is an opportunity which I am very proud to have been able to pursue.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 6.41 pm until Tuesday, 4 November 1997, at 10.30 am
