a meaningful role in the AFL. The success of this campaign will give junior players in the ACT better chances of playing competitive Aussie rules. The success of the ACT for GWS campaign will also ensure that the ACT sees a meaningful presence of an AFL club and promote the sport more thoroughly in the region. I commend Peter Taylor, who is heading up the ACT for GWS campaign.

I have got a pledge pad here where people can come to my office and join up to ACT for GWS. The more people we get, the better, of course. They are looking at getting 5,000 people pledged. At this stage I believe it is around the 1,550 mark, so there is still a bit of a way to go, but I am very confident that we will get there. Again, I commend all of the people at AFL Canberra. I ask all Canberrans to get behind the ACT for GWS campaign.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

The Assembly adjourned at 5.32 pm.
