CONFERENCES OF PLANNING AND HERITAGE MINISTERS, JUNE 1989

Ministerial Statement and Paper

Debate resumed from 4 July 1989, on motion by Ms Follett:

That the Assembly takes note of the following paper:

Conferences of Planning and Heritage Ministers, June 1989 - Ministerial statement, 4 July 1989.

MR HUMPHRIES (4.17): I do not wish to speak for very long on this paper. It has, like a number of other papers before the Assembly, been on our notice paper for quite some time - since 4 July. I am not sure that the Assembly should not be accelerating the process by which it considers these papers and other documents. I understand and appreciate that Bills as a rule should have higher priority because they affect the legal realities at force in our Territory. Nonetheless, the absence of a speedy dealing with these particular papers makes it difficult to make sensible and relevant comments some months perhaps after they are originally made.
