A member: You were once.

MR BERRY: It was not funny business when I was there. Mr Speaker, it was not an experiment which you were involved in. It was not an experiment and I made it very clear to Mr Speaker, much to his angst, that I was not going to be involved in any of this sort of stuff. I want to make it clear to this place that I have not been involved in any experimentation with young people about the effects of fluoride. It is not my role to do that, nor is it the Minister for Health's.

Mr Kaine: Well, I am glad we have cleared that up. That applies equally to both Ministers.

MR BERRY: Well, are you going to instruct him not to do it any more?

Mr Kaine: Did your Leader instruct you not to do it any more?

MR BERRY: She did not have to. It came naturally.

PAPERS

MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (3.12): Mr Speaker, for the information of members I present the following papers:

Consumer Affairs Act - Consumer Affairs Council and Bureau - Report -

1987-88.

1988-89.

Credit Act - ACT Consumer Affairs Bureau - Report -

1987-88.

1988-89.

Sale of Motor Vehicles Act - ACT Consumer Affairs Bureau - Report -

1987-88.

1988-89.

Members will note that they relate to pre-self-government periods. These reports are an amalgamation of reports on the operations of the Consumer Affairs Council and the Consumer Affairs Bureau. The administration of the Credit Act 1985 and the administration of the Sale of Motor Vehicles Act 1977 are produced pursuant to section 17 of the Consumer Affairs Act 1973 and section 241 of the Credit Act 1985 and section 90 of the Sale of Motor Vehicles Act. They are being tabled by myself today, without a request for them to be noted, simply because they are historic. They relate to periods that antedate self-government.
