sitting there. For most of the time that I made the presentation this morning - - -
Mr Whalan: Why do not you live up to your promises?
MR KAINE: You don't want to hear this. Why don't you shut up?
MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Kaine!
MR KAINE: He asked me a question. They are like a bunch of jackals; they do not want to hear the answer.
Mr Whalan: Mr Speaker, I rise on a point of order. Could you try and restrain the disturbed gentleman opposite who is trying to justify his Government's reneging on its policy commitment.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you for your observation Mr Whalan. Have you finished, Mr Kaine?
MR KAINE: Just one word.
Mr Whalan: Why did you renege?
MR KAINE: Rubbish!
National Capital Plan
MRS GRASSBY: Mr Speaker, my question is to the Chief Minister. On 14 February in response to a question you acknowledged that the national capital open space scheme should not be designated land under the NCP. What steps has your Government taken to achieve this objective?
MR KAINE: Discussions between the Interim Territory Planning Authority and the National Capital Planning Authority in terms of the National Capital Plan draft are still going on and when it gets beyond the officer stage and filters up to the political level I will take it further. But for the time being discussions are going on - as they rightly should - at the officer level to determine what the content of the National Capital Plan will be.
MRS GRASSBY: I ask a supplementary question. Are you confident that the NCPA will modify its position on this matter?
MR KAINE: Yes, I am. I have spoken informally to officers of the National Capital Planning Authority and yes, I am confident that they will change the plan.
