Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2003 Week 14 Hansard (11 December) . . Page.. 5304 ..

MR QUINLAN (continuing):

To Mr Corbell goes the game of Monopoly. Wherever you land approval is required. Only one house or hotel per property will be allowed-there will be no dual occupancy in this game-but should you wish you do have access to the AAT.

To Mrs Dunne I give an X-box game of Car Demolition Derby-get it out of your system before you get on the road-and there's a bonus for you as well. That's the game of poker where pairs don't count.

To Mr Stefaniak, the game is Dungeons and Dragons. There are no dragons, just a lot of keys, and you lock up your opponents and throw away a key each time.

To Mr Wood I give a board game called Public Housing. The objective of this game is to convert a town completely into public housing. Your opponent in this game is that bastard the Treasurer, but he loses most of the time.

Mr Wood: He what?

MR QUINLAN: He loses most of the time.

Mr Wood: Rubbish!

MR QUINLAN: To Ms Gallagher the board game is Play School. It is a game where the objective is to get your marker into the left wing, which is the public education wing, and if you fall on the right wing you have to pay off the kids' education.

Mr Pratt also gets the same game only his objective is to get into the right wing, where the private schooling is. If you land in the middle you get a thorough thrashing and if you land in the left then the police who are resident there set their attack dogs on you.

Ms MacDonald is Jewish and doesn't believe in Christmas, so I shouldn't give her anything. But we will give her a baby Jesus jigsaw puzzle in case some of it rubs off and we can convert her.

To Mrs Burke we give the game of musical chairs. When she plays and misses out someone else has to resign and she gets their spot.

To Mrs Cross I give a package that represents her progression through here. It's a package of games. The first game is Fantan. She should know that Fantan has the alternative names Parliament and Seven. The second game I give is Solitaire, the third game is a book of Crosswords, and the court is silent.

To Ms Tucker I give the board game the Enchanted Forest, where you fight off developers, roads and cars and the prize is a life of ease in the centre.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 6.04 pm. until Tuesday 10 February 2004, at 10.30 am.
