Leave granted.

MS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, I am pleased to present the Government's legislation program for the autumn 1998 session. As we commence the first sittings of the Fourth Assembly and the second term of the Carnell Government, I am pleased to present a program of legislation which will continue to build on the legislative achievements of this Government. This legislation program will continue the Government's drive for administrative reform, responsible management of the Territory and response to community concerns. In addition, this Government will continue to play its part in national legislative reform.

The core of the Government's legislation program lies in financial and business legislation. The Appropriation Bill is, of course, of central importance to the Government's legislative and administrative agenda. In addition, ACT statutes will be amended to reflect and keep pace with other jurisdictions in matters such as taxation, stamp duties and competition
