OBJECTIVES OF THE EXECUTIVE
Ministerial Statement
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister) (by leave): The opening of the Legislative Assembly marks an important point in history. The Australian Capital Territory today takes its place as an equal beside the other States and the Northern Territory in Australia's Federation.
It is a great honour for me to be the Australian Capital Territory's first Chief Minister and I would like to thank the Assembly for the confidence it has shown in electing me.
I would like now to outline the nature of our Labor government and some key objectives.
