Public housing issues—authorisation of member’s participation in proceedings
DR FOSKEY (Molonglo) (2.29): I seek leave to move the motion standing in my name.
Leave granted.
DR FOSKEY: I move:
That this Assembly:
(1) notes the provisions of section 15 of the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 relating to conflict of interest and those of standing order 156 which provide that the Assembly may decide how those provisions may be applied;
(2) notes that Dr Foskey has declared that she has a residential tenancy agreement with the ACT Government; and
(3) decides that, notwithstanding Dr Foskey’s residential tenancy agreement, it is in the public interest to allow Dr Foskey to participate in any future discussion of a matter, or vote on a question, in relation to public housing issues.
