Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 4 Hansard (30 March) . . Page.. 1082 ..
MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):
Mr Speaker, in conclusion, this Bill is a statement of the intention of the Australian Capital Territory to comply with, and give effect to, the IGA. It is one of the steps in the process of implementing the national tax reform agenda, with significant benefits to the ACT in the long run.
Debate (on motion by Mr Quinlan ) adjourned.
MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (10.48): Mr Speaker, I present the Electricity Amendment Bill 2000, together with its explanatory memorandum.
Title read by Clerk.
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
I ask for leave to have the presentation speech incorporated in Hansard.
Leave not granted.
MR HUMPHRIES: I note that I had the Opposition advised that we would be seeking to have some of the presentation speeches incorporated in Hansard.
Mr Hargreaves: No, all of them.
Mr Quinlan: You cannot be selective, just to have your little day when you want it.
MR HUMPHRIES: I might pose the question: What is the problem with incorporating some and not others?
Mr Corbell: You do not get to pick and choose. It is all of them or none of them.
MR HUMPHRIES: Why not?
Mr Berry: Do you have a time problem or do you not?
MR HUMPHRIES: Yes, we do have a time problem. We want to have some speeches incorporated in Hansard.
Mr Quinlan: Why did you not provide notice? Why did you not ask us to agree to that? Why did you not say that in the first place?
MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Speaker, could I ask what the problem is? Why is it not possible to incorporate some of these speeches in Hansard?
