also concerned about Fia Cumming's report concerning your view that, even if the premium was adequate, the issue could not be settled before a Party Room debate.
Mr Garling then said, "It will take over half a million dollars to prepare a casino tender. Civil and Civic would not be prepared to spend half a million dollars on the basis of such uncertainty".
Based on these remarks it is not unreasonable to assume that Civil and Civic are engaged in the casino tendering process. Mr Garling volunteered his remarks in the context of a conversation. These remarks were not sought or solicited by me.
I seek leave to table that letter.
Leave granted.
MR WHALAN: I wish to place on record a response and an explanation of the statement in the Hansard of 5 December and just state on record that Mr Collaery knew at the time that there was a reasonable explanation of that situation.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion (by Mr Collaery) proposed:
That the Assembly do now adjourn.
Valedictory
MR SPEAKER: This is our last sitting day for the year, so, before proposing the question that the Assembly do now adjourn, I would like to take a few moments to express my appreciation, as Speaker, to those people who have assisted the Assembly through its first year of operation.
I would like to thank you, the members, for the support you have given the Chair during this past year. To you and your families may I sincerely express the greetings of the season. I would like to place on record the debt the Assembly owes to the clerks at the table and their staff and the former clerk for their dedicated service and sound procedural advice throughout this turbulent year.
To the senior committee clerk and the editor of debates, who are leaving us this month, I would also like to express my thanks. I would also be remiss if I did not offer the thanks of the Assembly to the head of administration, Mr Harris, and his staff for the assistance that he and they have given to the Assembly and its committees.
