Mr Berry: No.
MR SPEAKER: There has been a dissenting voice. Just move your motion, please, Mr Humphries.
MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (3.35): Mr Speaker, I move:
That this Assembly approves the vesting of the main undertakings, except their water and sewerage facilities, of ACTEW Corporation Limited and its subsidiaries (including all or any of their assets, rights and liabilities) in a joint venture by way of partnerships between subsidiaries of ACTEW Corporation Limited and the Australian Gas Light Company.
Mr Speaker, this motion approves the vesting of the main undertakings, other than water and sewerage facilities, of ACTEW Corporation and its subsidiaries in a joint venture between subsidiaries of the ACTEW Corporation Ltd and the subsidiaries of Australian Gas Light Co. Members will recall that there is a requirement under subsection 16(4) of the Territory Owned Corporations Act for approval to be obtained by the Assembly before there is any disposal of the main undertakings of the Territory or its territory owned corporations. This motion seeks to facilitate the proposed joint venture between ACTEW and AGL, which has been the subject of considerable debate in this place and elsewhere in the last few weeks.
