MR KAINE: Am I entering into a debate or answering a question, Mr Speaker?
MR SPEAKER: Please desist, Mr Stevenson.
Mr Stevenson: I am sorry, Mr Speaker.
MR KAINE: I would suggest that the discussions that take place at the Federal Council level of the Liberal Party may be quite different to the ones that take place at the Divisional Headquarters level in the ACT. There are differences of view within the Liberal Party. I am not accountable for all of those views and I do not intend to express a view on that matter one way or the other.
Erindale Centre Library
MRS NOLAN: My question is to Mr Duby in his capacity as Minister for Finance and Urban Services. Can the Minister tell the Assembly what the evening opening hours will be for the Erindale Centre Library next year?
MR DUBY: I thank Mrs Nolan for the question. Indeed, there has been quite a deal of community concern over the opening hours of the Erindale Centre Library, and I am pleased to advise Mrs Nolan that the current hours of opening for the Erindale Centre Library will continue for the time being; that is, the Erindale Centre Library will operate six days per week, Monday to Saturday, with evening hours until 8.00 pm on Tuesday and Wednesday during school term time. It must be pointed out that the use of both the Erindale Centre Library and the Tuggeranong Town Centre Library will continue to be monitored, of course, to ensure that the residents of Tuggeranong receive a good library service in a most cost-effective manner. But, as I said, the situation is that the current hours of opening at the Erindale Centre Library shall continue.
Hospital Redevelopment
MR BERRY: My question is directed to the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts, Mr Humphries. Has there been any correspondence, or have there been records of conversation, between the Minister's office or officers of the department of health and the media on matters related to the hospital redevelopment? Will the Minister table any such documents?
MR HUMPHRIES: I think this is "The Government Heavying its Critics, Part 12", or whatever it might be.
Mr Kaine: He is doing a bit of fishing.
