Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 11 Hansard (6 November) . . Page.. 3799 ..

Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:

That leave of absence for today, 6 November 1997, be granted to Mrs Carnell (Chief Minister).

Motion (by Mr Humphries) proposed:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.

MR MOORE (6.43): I wish to make a short point, Mr Speaker. Regularly this chamber is used for debates by students and others. I had the pleasure today of finding a little note in my desk. Politicians so rarely get positives that I thought it would be worth putting its contents into Hansard. The note reads:

Hi Michael!

I used your desk during the debate. You have a great view.

This is very interesting. Obviously, the person who wrote this note had a different view from the one I have. She did not look at Wayne Berry, Andrew Whitecross and so forth.

MR SPEAKER: They were referring to me, Mr Moore.

MR MOORE: I am being very careful not to refer to you, Mr Speaker, because it may well have been one of the ones for which you actually did remain in the chair. I am being very careful not to refer to you in this particular case. You would never find me referring to you in a negative way as far as the view goes, Mr Speaker - not very often, anyway. She goes on to say:

I think I'll have to run for local government: great seats!

Indeed, they are great seats. It may be that somebody is going to knock me out of my seat. She goes on:

You're a great local rep. I'm proud to be seated here in splendour.

Sincerely, Lyn.
