Mr Len Clampett : Royals Rugby Football Club
MR STEFANIAK (10.10): I suppose I would have to agree with the thrust of the argument put by Mr Connolly and Mr Duby. I suppose I should apologise slightly to Mr Stevenson for making comments about the Beverly Hillbillies when he talked about Mr Clampett; but, like Mr Duby, I certainly respect Mr Stevenson's views. Probably I would agree with more of his views than Mr Duby would, but certainly on this point I would not agree with Mr Stevenson.
The only other point I would like to make, on a totally different subject, Mr Speaker, is to congratulate the Royals Rugby Football Club which has won its 15th first grade premiership. That means it has won more first grade premierships than any other club in the ACT rugby union. So, congratulations to Royals.
Mr Duby: What about Daramalan?
MR STEFANIAK: Craig, they have won only two.
Mr Duby: Are you not going to congratulate them for being there?
MR STEFANIAK: I will congratulate them for being there. They have been worthy adversaries over the last seven years in fighting out the first grade grand finals, but I think it is worthy to put on the record that Royals have now won more first grade premierships than any other rugby club in Canberra's history, beating a record RMC held for many years. RMC have won 14. Royals are not quite the equals of St George yet, but who knows?
Football Clubs : Reid
MR MOORE (10.11): Just to follow Mr Stefaniak's topic before I start on my own, it is surprising that while he is congratulating Royals, which I am sure is very important to him, he missed out on congratulating the Canberra Raiders who have got themselves into the grand final. Of course, we are all very aware of that, and I know that Mr Stefaniak would be a little churlish with himself now in realising that he forgot to do so. He will do so in the next couple of days.
I would like to comment on the draft heritage study of Reid. Mr Duby has been kind enough to share a copy with me and with members of the Reid Residents Association. In fact, it was the major subject discussed at the annual general meeting of the Reid Residents Association last night. The study offers a great opportunity for people who live in a heritage area and who have to deal with the constraints and the restraints of owning a heritage house. There certainly are constraints and there are also a tremendous number of advantages.
