could they have been influenced by the pornography industry?
Please do not allow this cruel industry to influence your society any more than it already has. The X-Rated video industry is not good for any of the inhabitants of Australia and I implore you to do all you can to stop their trade.
Yours sincerely,

Mr Speaker, I present a copy of the explanatory memorandum to the Bill and commend the Bill to the members in this house.
Debate (on motion by Mr Moore) adjourned.
TUGGERANONG SWIMMING COMPLEX
MR WHALAN (10.56): I move:
That this Assembly expresses its total support for -
(1) the development, by the Government, of a swimming complex in Tuggeranong;
(2) the location of the complex adjacent to the bus interchange in the town centre;
(3) a full recreational and competition standard complex including an Olympic standard pool, a diving pool, spectator accommodation and recreational pools; and
(4) the full enclosure of the pool to ensure full-time operation throughout the year.
Mr Speaker, this motion consists of four parts and it seeks the total support of all members of this Assembly for the development by the Government of a swimming complex in Tuggeranong. It seeks that the complex be located adjacent to the bus interchange within the town centre - and I will return to that particular point - that a full recreational and competition standard complex including an Olympic standard pool, diving pool and spectator accommodation and recreation pools be included in that development and that there be full enclosure of the pool to ensure usage throughout 12 months of the year in the ACT.
But before I go on to the substance of the motion, Mr Speaker, I would like to refer to an event which occurred in this chamber yesterday which augurs ill for the future of democracy in the ACT. I note, and I would like it recorded in Hansard, that Mrs Nolan is absent from the chamber while the question of a major facility in Tuggeranong is being debated. Mrs Nolan obviously has no concern for the citizens of Tuggeranong, as demonstrated by her refusal to be present in the chamber while this is being debated.
