Wednesday, 25 October 1989
__________________________
MR SPEAKER (Mr Prowse) took the chair at 10.30 am and read the prayer.
PETITION
The Acting Clerk: The following petition has been lodged for presentation, and a copy will be referred to the appropriate Minister:
Pearce Primary School
To the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
The petition of certain residents of the ACT draws to the attention of the Assembly the draft proposal for public comment for the Pearce Primary School site, section 27, blocks 1 and 8 (part).
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to allow Pearce Primary School to be established as the Canberra Youth Performing Arts Centre.
by Mr Whalan (from 533 citizens).
Petition received.
MEMBERS' STAFF BUDGET ALLOCATION
MR STEVENSON (10.31): I move:
That the Assembly is of the opinion that members should be able to use the funds allocated to them for staffing to employ staff or engage consultants as determined by the member.
Previously, this Assembly passed a motion which was the same in all respects except that it said "until the LA(MS) Bill is passed". The reason for this motion today is that it has become evident to me that I will receive no assistance in this matter, nor will this Assembly, from the Chief Minister or the drafting section. So what we need to do is to request that the Chief Minister do the will of this Assembly.
