Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 1 Hansard (8 December) . . Page.. 4047 ..

MR HIRD (6.21): Mr Speaker, I would like to cite some quotes. Our colleague Mr Hargreaves talked about services in the Tuggeranong Valley being deplorable. Those services were made available in the last five years and they have been enhanced by this Government.

Let me go on to the next quote of the evening. It is on the record. Our colleague Mr Corbell once again rubbished public servants who cannot answer back.

Let me cite another quote here and now, Mr Speaker: "And what a great Chief Minister". That was said by Harold Hird, a member for Ginninderra. Why did I say that? Look at the reduction in the deficit that we were handed. Look at the deplorable situation we were handed in 1995 when we came to office. What we have done with the crumbs left from the cake is marvellous. This Government stands on its record.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
