But, unless payroll tax avoidance scams are brought to an end, the damage to the community as a whole will result in much louder and much better placed protests about the Government's inaction. As a community based, independent member of the Assembly, I, like the Government, in this case at least, support legislation which serves the interests of the community.
Debate (on motion by Mr Berry) adjourned.
Sitting suspended from 12.52 to 2.30 pm
QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Belconnen Tip Amenities Block
MR COLLAERY: My question is to Ellnor Grassby, Minister for Housing and Urban Services. I refer to the $299,000 new amenities building at the Belconnen landfill site which is included in the capital works program. In view of the fact that a $41,000 contract has been let for the design of this building - it is in the most recent Gazette - will the Minister advise the Assembly of the scope of work and any special design considerations which are to be taken into account in establishing an apparently excessive cost estimate for the project? That is $41,000 just to design an amenities block at the Belconnen tip.
MRS GRASSBY: I am afraid, Mr Collaery, I will have to get back to you with that information.
Stolen Cars
MR JENSEN: My question is also directed to the Minister for Housing and Urban Services. The matter which I am about to ask the Minister about was brought to my attention following a recent incident where a car stolen from the Tuggeranong Valley was identified in a Civic car park by the mother of the owner as she went past in an ACTION bus. It would appear that the car had been left in that particular car park for approximately two days. Could the Minister advise whether a list of stolen cars is provided to the parking operations section to enable cars left in a parking lot overnight to be checked against the list? In this particular case the car was parked over two spaces, so it was illegally parked as well.
Mr Whalan: I bet they got fined.
MR JENSEN: The answer to that, Mr Whalan, is no. Will the Minister undertake to ensure that arrangements are made for this procedure to commence forthwith.
