MR BARR (Kurrajong—Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Social Inclusion and Equality, Minister for Tourism and Special Events and Minister for Trade, Industry and Investment) (5.00), in reply: I thank members for their support for the legislation. I will be sure to pass on to the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office Mr Coe’s Hansard in relation to the quality of their work. I am sure they will appreciate his commentary.
Mr Coe: It is your fault for not doing the regulation. They know that as well. And how dare you push the parliamentary counsel in front of a bus. That is what you have just done: you have just pushed the parliamentary counsel in front of a bus.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, Mr Coe!
MR BARR: I am sure they will appreciate reading Hansard. In relation to Mr Coe’s personal observations on my motivations in relation to reform in this area, yes, I am proud of the work that has been undertaken over quite some time to put in place a fairer system for Canberra motorists. I am not going to rehash all of the debates we had last year but, Mr Coe, this will be one of many achievements of this government. If you ever have the opportunity to sit on this side of the chamber, you can only hope to achieve as much as this government.
MADAM DEPUTY SPEAKER: Mr Barr, could you address the chair rather than Mr Coe.
MR BARR: Madam Deputy Speaker, Mr Coe could only hope to achieve anywhere near a fraction of what this government has achieved in its time in office. It is going to be a great election year and I certainly look forward to beating the Leader of the Opposition in October.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
Adjournment
Motion (by Mr Gentleman) proposed:
That the Assembly do now adjourn.
National Condom Day
MS CHEYNE (Ginninderra) (5.03): As members would know, tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, and for some it is a celebration of love defined by romantic gestures; for others the day is anything but romantic. But 14 February also marks another significant day that may have flown under the radar this year: National Condom Day.
