AMBULANCE SERVICE LEVY BILL 1990
[COGNATE BILL:
TAXATION (ADMINISTRATION) (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 2) 1990]
Debate resumed from 29 March 1990, on motion by Mr Duby:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MR SPEAKER: Is it the wish of the Assembly to debate the Ambulance Service Levy Bill 1990 concurrently with the Taxation (Administration) (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1990? There being no objection, that course will be followed.
MR BERRY (4.39): The Ambulance Service Levy Bill dates back to the 1989 Follett budget. When that initiative was first taken, it was planned that the legislation would come into effect about January 1990 and, therefore, the savings for the ACT coffers would start to flow from about that time. We all know the history of events that have overtaken the establishment of that legislation - the decision of those members opposite to join together and remove the Follett Labor Government from office. The issue that flows from that, of course, is that there is an element of lost revenue because of the inability of the Government to get the legislation enacted quickly.
