very careful that we do not have a different attitude to those marginalised groups than we do to a child who, in fact, has been infected by the same virus.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY GAMING AND LIQUOR AUTHORITY (REPEAL) BILL 1990
MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General) (4.12): Mr Deputy Speaker, I present the Australian Capital Territory Gaming and Liquor Authority (Repeal) Bill 1990. I move:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
Mr Deputy Speaker, the Bill provides for the repeal of the Australian Capital Territory Gaming and Liquor Authority Act 1987. As a consequence of that repeal, the Australian Capital Territory Gaming and Liquor Authority, or GALA, as it is commonly known, will be abolished. The Bill includes transitional provisions consequential upon the repeal of the Act. Details of these provisions are set out in the explanatory memorandum circulated with the Bill. Separate Bills to be introduced shortly relate, firstly, to the establishment of the TAB as a company or, more precisely, a Territory owned corporation and, secondly, to the return of regulatory functions established under the Liquor Act 1975 and the Gaming Machine Act 1987 to the mainstream government service.
The abolition of the authority will give rise to savings through administrative efficiencies of $150,000 in a full year. These figures are revised from those given to the Estimates Committee. Details of the Bill are set out in the explanatory memorandum, which I present. I commend the Bill to the Assembly.
Debate (on motion by Ms Follett) adjourned.
