Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 12 Hansard (13 November) . . Page.. 4136 ..

MR BERRY (continuing):

When you were told that I had not met with Mr Carr and you were given the opportunity to apologise, you refused to do so. You had either in your hands or on the record in this place a news release from the Premier stating that I had never met with him, and you did not apologise. You had plenty of time to apologise. You never sought to apologise until the censure motion was circulated. Once caught out, you want to apologise, but not before. You deserve to be censured. I deserve the entitlement to move the censure motion and debate it.

Question put:

That the motion (Mr Berry's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

AYES, 5	 	NOES, 10

Mr Berry	Mrs Carnell
Mr Corbell	Mr Cornwell
Ms McRae	Mr Hird
Ms Reilly	Ms Horodny
Mr Wood		Mr Humphries
		Mrs Littlewood
		Mr Moore
		Mr Osborne
		Mr Stefaniak
		Ms Tucker

MR SPEAKER: I have received a letter from Ms Tucker proposing that a matter of public importance be submitted to the Assembly for discussion, namely:

The need for a social plan for the ACT.

Good luck, Ms Tucker.

MS TUCKER (4.59): I am sure it will not be nearly as interesting as what some people were hoping would happen. It is just about something positive and interesting.

Mrs Carnell: You mean something useful?

MS TUCKER: Something useful.
