program on mere whim seems to me to be rather irresponsible. Naturally we are opposed to that.

MR MOORE (11.57): Mr Speaker, I will take just a couple of minutes to respond to Mr Duby and the notion that what I am suggesting is a total ban. Very rarely would I support a total ban on anything. Quite clearly, what I support here is a semi-restrictive approach, not a total ban at all, so that people who still wish to use poker machines can indeed use those poker machines. By putting some restriction on it we can reduce the damage to those who have a problem in this particular area. That is what it is about. The sort of nonsense that Mr Duby just presented does not apply at all. He does not follow any rational logic in his argument.

Question resolved in the negative.

MOTOR TRAFFIC (AMENDMENT) BILL (NO. 5) 1990

MR DUBY (Minister for Finance and Urban Services) (12.02): Mr Speaker, earlier today I presented the Motor Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 5) of 1990 in relation to ministerial determination of taxi fares. Unfortunately, at the time I did not have with me my presentation speech. For various reasons, the presentation speech is often used by people in the interpretation of Bills. I seek leave to have this speech incorporated into Hansard.

Leave granted.

Presentation speech incorporated at Appendix 1
