(a) considering the needs of the concerns of the community; and
(b) expert engineering advice from Roads ACT.”.
I look forward to both Mr Smyth and Mrs Dunne explaining how they could have been so involved in this dreadful car park that Mr Coe is so keen for us to fix.
Mr Hanson: Is anything ever your fault?
Mr Stanhope: Well, your party are responsible for this car park. We are happy to fix it, Jeremy.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER (Ms Burch): Is leave granted for Mr Coe to move an amendment to his motion?
Mr Stanhope: Yes, leave is granted in a spirit of cooperation.
Ms Hunter: I don’t think I have seen it.
Mr Stanhope: I have circulated and moved my amendment. Of course, we will give leave when Mr Coe is ready to circulate and move his.
Mrs Dunne: It is all my fault?
Mr Stanhope: How did you allow this through?
Mrs Dunne: I mean, you do have a sycophantic admiration for my capacities to influence things.
Mr Stanhope: I am surprised it got past you, Vicki. I am.
Mrs Dunne: Your admiration is noted, Chief Minister.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: All right; we need to go back to Mr Coe’s amendment. We will quickly need to get it circulated—
Mr Coe: Thank you.
MADAM ASSISTANT SPEAKER: and then we will deal with that and then we will come to Mr Stanhope’s amendment. Can the chamber just bear with us for a moment while we get Mr Coe’s amendment circulated. In the interim, I call Ms Porter.
MS PORTER (Ginninderra) (5.02): Madam Assistant Speaker, I welcome the opportunity provided by Mr Coe’s motion to discuss in the Assembly the parking and traffic issues at the local shops in Nicholls and I support Mr Stanhope’s amendment. I cannot speak to the amendment that I understand Mr Coe will move as I do not have it in front of me. I run regular mobile offices in a number of shopping centres in my electorate, Nicholls being one of them. As a result, I am constantly available to the community and in communication with local residents and shop owners.
