Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 6 Hansard (14 May) . . Page.. 1590 ..

MR PRATT (continuing):

therefore, a serious issue. The sorts of programs we have in place now that Ms Tucker may support are not working. If she does not have the solution, there is, therefore, a need to re-examine where we are at.

I would simply like to put the point of view that Ms Tucker's attack on the statistics and her reference to scare tactics et cetera ignore the fact ASSAD has produced a report which shows the serious problems that society faces. I would prefer to see Ms Tucker join forces with all of us here in the Assembly to do something about the problem, rather than being too precious and splitting hairs over statistics.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 5.22 pm.
