Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 14 Hansard (10 December) . . Page.. 4856 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

What we should be on about is ensuring the protection of small business and we should be ensuring the protection of jobs in small business. But when it comes to the crunch, the influence of the property lobby is just too great. That is why it is that I hope that this issue will be revisited. I am sure that it will be revisited in the next Assembly, because I am sure that there will be a strong crossbench - I am not quite sure who will be on it - that will be able to raise these issues again and again, and keep the pressure on the party in government or the party in opposition, dragging them, kicking and screaming, just a little closer to a fair and equitable situation. We have managed to date to drag them a bit closer, but there is still a long way to go.

Question put:

That the amendment (Ms Horodny's) be agreed to.
