Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 9 Hansard (5 September) . . Page.. 2862 ..
MR MOORE (continuing):
The ACT has already agreed to the removal of self-administration as part of our agreement at the Ministerial Council on Drug Strategy. Queensland, which has some of the harshest drug laws, have never had self-administration as an offence, and I think we understand the reason behind that.
Mr Stanhope: They probably have not noticed up there. Don't draw it to their attention.
MR MOORE: They probably have not noticed, yes. If you are comfortable about it, I will bring in legislation. We will have a discussion on what form that should take and how it should apply. Mr Speaker, we appreciate the support of members for this legislation and look forward to its passage.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
MR HUMPHRIES (Treasurer, Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Community Safety) (11.14): Mr Speaker, I ask for leave of the Assembly to move a motion to discharge a number of orders of the day, both executive and private members business, from the notice paper.
