MR JENSEN: Mr Acting Speaker, in an interjection Mr Berry indicated that I had not read this document prior to the decision being made. I assure Mr Berry that I read this document very thoroughly before the decision was made and I made sure - - -
Mr Berry: How long before?
MR JENSEN: The week before, Mr Berry, and I made sure that other members - - -
Mr Berry: Did you let it go that far down the track?
MR JENSEN: I read it the night it was given to me, Mr Berry, the night after it was given to me. You may recall that it was given to me in front of the TV cameras so you can put the date down. I read it that night and I conveyed it to my colleagues the next morning. Therefore, Mr Berry, I claim that you have misrepresented me once again very shamefully.
MR ACTING SPEAKER: Mr Jensen, for the record, what document are you referring to? Just name the document.
MR JENSEN: I am referring to the document, Surplus space in schools - An opportunity, OECD, Paris, 1985.
Mr Berry: Hearsay.
MR JENSEN: Are you calling me a liar, Mr Berry?
Mr Berry: I said, "Hearsay". If the cap fits, wear it.
MR ACTING SPEAKER: No, he is not saying that. Thank you, Mr Jensen. The discussion is concluded.
ASSOCIATIONS INCORPORATION (AMENDMENT) BILL 1990
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (4.23): I present the Associations Incorporation (Amendment) Bill 1990. I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
Mr Acting Speaker, the amendments to the Associations Incorporation Act effect some necessary amendments to the subsisting Act in the nature of technical changes. It effects a number of provisions that are required to bring about consequential changes due to changes in definitions consequent upon self-government, and to take into account the transfer of functions from the Commonwealth to the ACT in relation to the associations incorporation process. As members will be aware, this process was managed in the past by the Commonwealth and these functions have been transferred to the Territory. This legislation takes into account the role of the Territory in managing these functions at this stage. Mr Acting Speaker, I present the explanatory memorandum to this Bill.
