Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 12 Hansard (5 December) . . Page.. 3666 ..

MR QUINLAN (5.06): I just want to say a couple of things. You talked on and on about the privilege of having poker machines. We want that privilege of having poker machines to remain tied to the purpose for which it was granted, whether it be cultural activity or sport.

Mr Humphries: Why should it be that? Why can't they change that purpose?

MR QUINLAN: To respond to your other point that these takeovers do not happen, I suggest you check with the Weston Creek Football Club and see just how close that went to being taken over by the social members last year. Thank you. I oppose this clause.

Clause 14.

MR QUINLAN (5.11): I move amendment No 5 circulated in my name. It reads as follows:

I have several amendments here that I will move in sequence because I think they need to be voted on separately, unfortunately. This relates to the exclusion of expenditures that might be taken into account in terms of community contributions. I think the exclusion in subparagraph (a) suffers mainly because it could be a much better definition, and I am not sure that it is within my capacity to express one.
