Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 7 Hansard (27 June) . . Page.. 2007 ..

MR SPEAKER: Order! You are now debating the matter.

MR BERRY: Mr Speaker, during question time Mr Humphries, amidst a flurry of rhetorical answers, imputed that we on this side, and I in particular, advocate raising or lowering taxes-it was a bit hard to make out what it was. The only people in this place who want to raise taxes are Gary Humphries and Kate Carnell-

MR SPEAKER: That is not a personal explanation. Sit down.

MR RUGENDYKE: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a statement under standing order 47.

MR SPEAKER: Yes, proceed.

MR RUGENDYKE: My statement relates to discussion that took place earlier regarding the estimates report, where I think it was implied that additional points that are included in my dissenting report were not brought before the committee. I think it is fair to report to the Assembly that on Monday, 19 June, my adviser emailed to the estimates secretariat three pieces of information that I wanted to have had included in the report. They were apparently ignored. I would like to table this email for the information of all the members.

QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Online Gambling

MR HUMPHRIES: Mr Kaine asked me at question time whether there was any online gambling licence being considered for the Bruce Stadium. My advice is that there is no application in respect of the Bruce Stadium for an online gambling licence. There is, of course, a sports betting licence in operation at the Bruce Stadium. ACTTAB also operates at the Bruce Stadium, but not as a sports bookmaker as they do not have a sports bookmaking licence. The only gambling that takes place at Bruce Stadium is face-to-face placing of bets, and that is not, of course, online at all. The Gambling and Racing Commission has no knowledge of any application in respect of Bruce Stadium for online gambling.
