This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that the proposed termination of the Teddybears Child Care Centre lease, at 30 Storey St CURTIN, is not in the best interests of the ACT Community.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to instruct Urban Services to offer Teddybears Child Care Centre a 5 year lease; support the establishment of a viable long-term option for the continued operation of Teddybears Childcare Centre within the Curtin Community; and consider the relocation of the Emergency Services Authority to another, more appropriate site.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister, the petition was received.
Motion (by Mrs Dunne) proposed:
That the terms of this petition be referred to the Standing Committee on Planning and Environment for inquiry and report.

Unparliamentary language
Statement by Speaker
MR SPEAKER: Before we proceed, I would like to deal with the withdrawal of a couple of things that were said yesterday. I refer firstly to the Chief Minister. During debate on a bill, there were some calls as to the honesty or otherwise of somebody else in the house. I would ask you to withdraw that.
Mr Stanhope: I withdraw, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you, Chief Minister. Turning to Mr Corbell and the claim of a bald-faced lie being told in the place, I would ask for the withdrawal of that.
Mr Corbell: I withdraw that, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: There are ample opportunities to discredit the standing of members in this way with the use of parliamentary language and, of course, there is always the option of moving a substantive motion.
