Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 10 Hansard (14 October) . . Page.. 3187 ..

MR STANHOPE (continuing):

In terms of the other work that we have done, it is my hope that we will have our first public hearing in November. In that context, on the basis of the motions moved and supported by Mr Cornwell and Mr Osborne, I have authorised the secretary to write to, and in that process notionally indicate that we would be interesting in having them appear before the committee as early as November, Mr Steve Doszpot, Mr Kevin Neil, Mr David Lewis from ACT Rugby Union, Mr Ross Oakley, Mr Des Speakman from the Campaign Palace, Glen Wheatley from talentWORKS, Kylie Boyer from the Boyer Group, representatives of IGM, representatives of Arthur Andersen, representatives of Lend Lease, Mr Paul McDonald, the managing director of CRI, officers of News Ltd, SOCOG, Mr Rick Graf from Graf Consulting, John Haskins from Haskins Contractors, Mark de Jager from WT Partnership, Denis Page from Totalcare, George Wason from the CFMEU, Russ Collison from the AWU, Jeremy Pyner, David Dawes, Chris Peters, Colin Freeland, Ms Howe and John McMillan.

At 5.00 pm the debate was interrupted in accordance with standing order 34; the motion for the adjournment of the Assembly having been put and negatived, the debate was resumed.

MR STANHOPE: I am hopeful of that, even though the Government has refused quite persistently to provide this Assembly with any of those secret documents.
