Mr Hanson: When we catch up at the pub later?
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Yes, when you catch up later on and have some social time together, which will be very nice—highly recommended. Are we all done for now, members, so I can hear Mr Rattenbury? Thank you.

MR RATTENBURY: Thank you. I will not talk for much longer, because it is clearly a challenge for my colleagues.
The digital Canberra plan outlines a range of positive actions, and I look forward to seeing these implemented over the next four years. I support the need for these actions to be regularly discussed; it is useful not only to us in the Assembly but to those very businesses and people we are trying to attract to the ACT that this plan is carried
