Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 7 Hansard (28 June) . . Page.. 2174 ..

correct impression of what was going to happen. I hope I have cleared that up now in my remarks.

MS TUCKER

: I seek leave to speak again.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER

: This is just a suggestion really. In light of the debate that has occurred here, and what it appears we are going to end up with in light of Mr Hird's comments in estimates yesterday in the second report that I read from in my comments, I am happy to put an amendment, or a motion, to this effect: why don't we put on every committee report a little label on the front that says, "Warning: this may contain unparliamentary language. If you may be offended, don't read it." Would you like me to do that?

Motion, as amended, agreed to.

EXECUTIVE BUSINESS-PRECEDENCE

Ordered that executive business be called on.

APPROPRIATION BILL 2000-2001

Debate resumed from 25 May 2000.

Detail Stage

MR SPEAKER: Standing order 180 sets down the order in which this bill will be considered; that is, in the detail stage any schedule expressing the services for which the appropriation is to be made must be considered before the clauses and, unless the Assembly otherwise orders, the schedules will be considered by proposed expenditure in the order shown. With the concurrence of the Assembly, I am proposing that the Assembly consider schedule 1 by part, appropriation unit and departmental totals. Is this the wish of the Assembly? Thank you. That being so, schedule 1 will be considered by part, appropriation unit and departmental totals, then the clauses prior to schedule 2 and the title.

Schedule 1-Appropriations

Proposed expenditure-Part 1-Legislative Assembly Secretariat, $4,033,000 (net cost of outputs), $77,000 (capital injection) and $3,031,000 (payments on behalf of the territory), totalling $7,141,000.

Mr QUINLAN

(4.52): I want to refer back to the Estimates Committee report which I think the Treasurer said was a new low in the Assembly. I think that line was written before the report hit the table and was to be expected.

Mr Humphries

: It wasn't written at all, actually.
