South Burnett Times Pty Limited, 176 Haley Street, Kingaroy. On the other hand, the publication in question, the New Citizen, as at February 1990 has its registered office at 31 Goondoon Street, Gladstone, and is printed by Capricornia Newspaper Pty Limited, 162-164 Quay Street, Rockhampton, Queensland.
It should be noted, Mr Speaker, that the first and only issue of the Citizen held by the National Library is dated February 1989. This issue was received by the library in January 1990, 11 months after publication. The library has written to the Citizen, requesting subsequent, if any, issues. These have yet to be received.
Mr Speaker, I table photocopies of both the front and title pages of each of the newspapers in question. Members can see for themselves that, while similar, the two publications are just that - two separate publications entitled to separate ISSN numbers. I present:
The New Citizen - Vol. 2, No. 2 - January/February 1990 - Copy of pages 1 and 2.
The Citizen - February 1989 - Copy of pages 1 and 8.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO MEMBER
MR HUMPHRIES (Minister for Health, Education and the Arts): Mr Speaker, I move that leave of absence on 3 May 1990 be given to me on the ground of my attendance at a conference of Ministers for education in Melbourne.
MR MOORE: I distinctly remember a situation in this house in which the ground for leave was opposed by the Government. I presume that the ground in this case will be opposed as well, so I suggest that Mr Humphries seek leave and we grant him the leave without the ground being included. I am happy to give him the leave, but it is government policy and a precedent has been set, as Mr Collaery argued at our last sitting, that no grounds be included.
MR HUMPHRIES: I will rephrase my motion, Mr Speaker. I move:
That leave of absence on 3 May 1990 be given to Mr Humphries.
May I speak to the motion?
MR SPEAKER: Certainly.
MR HUMPHRIES: In support of the motion, I intend to attend a meeting of Ministers for education in Melbourne.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
