Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2004 Week 06 Hansard (Tuesday, 22 June 2004) . . Page.. 2369 ..

MR WOOD (Minister for Disability, Housing and Community Services, Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, and Minister for Arts and Heritage) (8.38): It is not clearly defined; it is one of the issues. As I followed Mr Pratt’s comments, I did not understand if the second part of his comments were the same as the first part. We have not removed other agencies from it. The point I make is that, being precise in legislation, Mr Pratt has not incorporated it. It is not essential in this part to do that, but there is no removal of it. It is all a very cooperative effort around being prepared for bushfires. No, Mr Pratt, I just cannot agree with what you are saying there.

Question put:

That Mr Pratt’s amendment be agreed to.
