Tuesday, 26 September 1989

__________________________

MR SPEAKER (Mr Prowse) took the chair at 2.30 pm and read the prayer.

LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION

MR SPEAKER: On 22 August 1989 I tabled in the Assembly legal advice from Professor Jack Richardson concerning the appointment of the Leader of the Opposition by the Legislative Assembly. I have subsequently been informed that there was an editorial mistake in paragraph 34 of the opinion. This involved some incorrect section references to the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988. I have already provided all members of the Assembly with a corrected page and I now formally table the letter from Macphillamy Cummins and Gibson, together with the correct version of paragraph 34 of Professor Richardson's opinion.

PETITIONS

The Acting Clerk: The following petitions have been lodged for presentation, and copies will be referred to the appropriate Ministers:

Education

To the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.

The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly:

Their disillusionment and disgust at the proposed budget cuts to education.

Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly that the proposed cuts be stopped and ACT government schools be supported.

by Mr Whalan (from 267 citizens).
