look forward to continuing to represent the people of Molonglo on their issues of concern and putting this sorry saga behind me, and I certainly intend to exercise my vote responsibly and in a considered fashion on all matters that come before the Assembly.
I am indebted for the level of public support that has been forthcoming since the events that started in December. I have had two negative responses from all of the people I have met with, and one of them rang me last week to apologise after the judgement was handed down. I am honoured by the confidence that has continued to be put forward. It has underlined the fact that the Australian community are still committed to the principle of a fair go and recognise an injustice when it has occurred.
It is my intention—and I indicated this to the Chief Minister when I met with him in December—to work to hold this territory government accountable, but I will also hold the opposition accountable when promises are made that are poorly costed and represent a major threat to the economic fortunes of this territory. I have no hesitation in maintaining my pursuit of good economic management. This is something that I intend to do on behalf of the people who have elected me.
