Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2004 Week 10 Hansard (Tuesday, 24 August 2004) . . Page.. 4100 ..

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) (6.54): The government supports this clause. You know why; we have had that debate. However, as I am looking at the time and the rest of the clauses, I propose to call a division on this. That will finish the night but set the pattern for the next couple of critical clauses. We will adjourn then until Thursday.

Question put:

That clause 7 be agreed to.

The Assembly voted—

Question so resolved in the negative.

Clause 7 negatived.

Clause 8.

Debate (on motion by Mr Wood) adjourned to the next sitting.

Adjournment

Motion (by Mr Wood) proposed:

That the Assembly do now adjourn.
