Paper
Assistant Speakers—appointment
MR SPEAKER: For the information of members and pursuant to standing order 8, I nominate Ms Burch, Mrs Dunne and Ms Le Couteur as Assistant Speakers and present the warrant of nomination.
Inaugural speeches
MR SPEAKER: I wish to remind members that this is Mr Coe’s inaugural speech, and it is traditional that those speeches are heard in silence.
MR COE (Ginninderra), by leave: It is with appreciation and humility that I am before this chamber making my maiden speech today. Firstly, Mr Speaker, may I congratulate you on your election as Speaker of this Assembly.
I come here representing the ACT electorate of Ginninderra, as a proud member of the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party is a party of initiative and enterprise, and I will seek to bring those attributes to my work here in this place.
My selection as a Liberal candidate was not made until seven weeks before the recent territory election. I was selected soon after the announcement that long-time Liberal MLA Bill Stefaniak would not be recontesting his seat. Bill served the people of Canberra in each of the first six Assemblies of the territory and served as a minister, shadow minister and Leader of the Opposition. Bill was a well-respected local member, and always fared well at the elections he fought. He was well supported by his wife, Shirley.
