The repercussions of these school closures will be felt for many years, long after they have gone. I must say, Mr Speaker, that it is a great shame that the first Government in the Territory has dealt such a blow to the community without a mandate.
MR COLLAERY (Minister for Housing and Community Services) (4.07): Mr Speaker, it was plainly indicated when Mr Bill Wood stood that this matter was brought on by the Labor Party only because Mr Humphries would not be present.
Mr Wood: On a point of order, Mr Speaker; I ask that it be noted that that is completely the reverse of what I was saying.
MR SPEAKER: Please proceed, Mr Collaery.
MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, Mr Wood said that knowing that Mr Humphries would not be here it would flush out - or words to that effect - the other views. So, clearly, it was meant to flush out the Rally. Right? Nevertheless, in lengthy, tortuous speeches, the Labor Party has occupied all of the time this afternoon. That speaks well for the Labor Party which had a school closure policy in its election propaganda.
MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Collaery! The time for this discussion has now concluded.
PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE - STANDING COMMITTEE
Alteration of Reporting Date
MR JENSEN (4.08): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to move a motion to alter the reporting date of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure inquiry into alterations to current policy concerning fences on suburban residential building blocks.
Leave granted.
MR JENSEN: Mr Speaker, I move:
That paragraph (2) of the terms of reference of the Standing Committee on Planning, Development and Infrastructure's inquiry into alterations to current policy concerning fences on suburban/residential building blocks be amended by omitting "16 October 1990" and substituting "20 November 1990".
Question resolved in the affirmative.
