Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 4 Hansard (29 March) . . Page.. 1003 ..
MR HUMPHRIES: You said that as well. You also said that I had been inactive for five years and that I "had done nothing to advance cameras". So, you check the Hansard. Mr Speaker, I think Mr Stanhope needs to have a little bit of a history lesson, but he will get that later on.
The fact is that there have been two important steps taken by this Government - and by me particularly - on the question of protection of the community with respect to security cameras. First of all, the Government has introduced a code of practice that will function with respect to cameras operated by the Australian Federal Police. The Government's intention, of course, with respect to cameras operating in the Civic area, is that this code should govern them while they are being operated by the Australian Federal Police.
MR SPEAKER: Just the personal explanation, please.
MR HUMPHRIES: Yes, Mr Speaker. The Government has also put aside a very substantial amount of money in the forthcoming budget - which rather contradicts Mr Stanhope's argument that there has been inaction for five years - to fund for the first time the operation of cameras in the forthcoming budget.
MR HARGREAVES: Mr Speaker, pursuant to standing order 127, at the request of Mr Berry, I fix a later hour this day for the presentation of a Bill for an Act to amend the Occupational Health and Safety Act 1989.
MR RUGENDYKE (10.56): Mr Speaker, I present the Adult Entertainment and Restricted Material Bill 2000, together with its explanatory memorandum.
Title read by Clerk.
MR RUGENDYKE: I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
Mr Speaker, I present this Bill to members of the Assembly today to ensure consistency in the ACT's planning policy of restricting the adult entertainment and sex industry to the industrial suburbs of Fyshwick, Hume and Mitchell. The bulk of the sex industry is located in these three suburbs. Commercial brothels, along with the display and sale of X-rated material, are restricted by law to these areas.
