Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 11 Hansard (5 November) . . Page.. 3679 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General) (5.40), in reply: Mr Speaker, I have to say, as the person that established that 24-hour crisis service, I think it is a little unfortunate that Mr Berry should make such comments. Any system, no matter how well established, no matter how well resourced, will occasionally encounter glitches. Mr Berry's comments, I am sure, do not particularly strike greatly at the Government's policies on the crisis service, because it has not been changed in any way. What they do strike at, though, is the professionalism of the people who man that service; and that is pretty unfortunate, in my view.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
