Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2001 Week 2 Hansard (1 March) . . Page.. 519 ..
MR STEFANIAK (continuing):
This government wants to see small business flourish, wants to see medium business flourish and wants to see big business flourish. It does want a level playing field. As a result of a hell of a lot of effort that has gone into that, what we have managed to put on the table does that best. Some of the later amendments run the risk of ultimately defeating the purpose and intent with which members who will be moving them hope they will achieve. Think very carefully over the next few days, ladies and gentlemen, because this is one of the most important pieces of legislation this territory has debated since self-government.
