Tuesday, 14 November 2006
MR SPEAKER (Mr Berry) took the chair at 10.30 am, made a formal recognition that the Assembly was meeting on the lands of the traditional owners, and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.
Petition
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Mr Pratt, from 2,502 residents:
Griffith library
To the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory
This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that the imminent proposed closure of Griffith Library on 1 December 2006 will have a detrimental effect on a large number of residents and the local community and will remove a fundamental and valued community service.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to act to ensure that the Griffith Library remains open to serve the community as a vital and highly valued community resource.
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.
