am concerned about the health system in the ACT; tell me what you are doing to address this concern,” it is difficult to write a response to such a broad request.
Mr Mulcahy: Why do you want their addresses then?
MR SPEAKER: Order!
MS GALLAGHER: So that I can take up the issue with the constituent.
Mr Mulcahy: No, you want to bypass the member.
MS GALLAGHER: I can contact the constituent to establish whether there is a particular issue to which I can respond, or I can establish whether it is a general concern about the $.75 billion that is being provided to the health system.
Mr Mulcahy: You are the only one who takes that approach.
MS GALLAGHER: I have listened to Mr Mulcahy’s arguments and I will try to be more responsive to him. However, the general nature of his correspondence makes it very difficult to respond, other than by trotting out a form letter stating, “We put so many million dollars into this and so many millions of dollars into that.” I have noted his comments and advise him that it is not a question of my being lazy or not doing my work.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.30 pm.
