to visitors. It is a very fine little gift for visitors. It is the sort of thing we need to give to members and to visitors as they pass through this Assembly.
Dr Kinloch: We suggested the same.
MR WOOD: Yes. It really is worthwhile. You already have taken this up, perhaps. Secondly, there is an exhibition of prints over at Studio 1 at Kingston, none of which is priced at more than $100. When you hear the names of some of the artists who have provided those prints - I will not go through them all - unframed at $100, you will realise what fine value that is. They are all ACT artists. Some are the leading print makers in this town, if not Australia, and some are emerging print makers. I think that these are two things you should look at as we approach the Christmas season. Maybe in future adjournment debates I will come up with a larger list.
Community Aid Abroad
MR JENSEN (6.08): Mr Speaker, I just wish to rise very briefly to - - -
Mrs Grassby: Have you got a deal for us too, Norm?
MR JENSEN: I have got a deal for you, Ellnor. I certainly have. It is very interesting that you should raise that. Mr Speaker, I think that at some stage over the last couple of months all members would have received one of these documents through the mail. It says, "Your day's pay can help change a village for a lifetime". During our busy lives and careers we have possibly put it aside and forgotten about it, but I would like to encourage members to have a look at this particular document, if they have not seen it or have mislaid it, and take the opportunity to donate a day's pay, for example, or make just a simple donation to what I believe is a worthy cause.
I have indicated to the Community Aid Abroad organisation that I would be a workplace contact for this particular program. I would be quite happy for members and their staffs to obtain these documents so that they can make an appropriate donation if they have not already done so.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Assembly adjourned at 6.10 pm until Tuesday, 27 November 1990, at 2.30 pm
