The speech read as follows:
Mister Speaker, on 10 December 1998 I tabled the Gaming and Racing Control Bill 1998. The purpose of the Control Bill is to establish an administrative and regulatory structure to provide for the coordination, regulation and control of all gambling and racing activities in one centralised agency. This agency will be known as the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission.
The Control Bill 1998 sets the framework for the day-to-day control and regulation of gambling and racing in the Territory, to ensure that these activities are conducted honestly, with integrity and free from criminal influence.
The Select Committee on Gambling made a number of recommendations in relation to the Control Bill 1998. Several of these recommendations will be addressed during the debate of the Control Bill.
