The draft study has many suggestions to offer. It is a very thick document. I notice that members of the Reid community have approached it very positively. I must take this opportunity to congratulate Mr Duby for making that available at this stage to the association and to me, and I hope that the result will be a very positive one, not just for Reid but for other heritage areas in Canberra.

Mr Collaery: It is to redebate the issue we voted on.
MR BERRY: I am not reflecting on the vote.
Mr Collaery: Use the adjournment debate for what it is intended.
MR BERRY: To speak on any issue.
