ALLIANCE GOVERNMENT'S OBJECTIVES AND PROGRAM
Ministerial Statement and Paper
MR KAINE (Chief Minister) (11.21): Mr Speaker - - -
Mr Wood: Mr Speaker, I was up.
MR KAINE: So was I.
Mr Moore: I was there before you, Bill.
MR KAINE: I hope, Mr Speaker, that we are not going to have to put up with all this trivial behaviour for the complete two and a half years' life of this Assembly. It is getting a bit boring already.
Mrs Grassby: I don't think you'll be here for two and a half years, Trevor; don't worry about it.
MR SPEAKER: Order!
MR KAINE: We will.
Mrs Grassby: No, you won't, Trevor.
MR KAINE: Mr Speaker - - -
Mrs Grassby: Don't bet on it, Trevor.
MR SPEAKER: Mrs Grassby!
MR KAINE: Having been given permission to speak by everyone but Mrs Grassby, Mr Speaker, I would like to say that today is a very important day for the alliance Government and for this Assembly. It is an historic occasion, which will see this territorial Government lead the way with its vision for Canberra.
MR SPEAKER: Order! Chief Minister, in the confusion and the noise from the opposition, you did not seek leave of the Assembly to make a statement.
MR KAINE: I thought I had.
MR SPEAKER: I did not hear it. Would you please seek leave.
MR KAINE: Obviously Mrs Grassby did not, either. Mr Speaker, I ask leave of the Assembly to make a ministerial statement on the Executive's objectives and program.
