Seminar Leaflet
MR BERRY: My question is directed to the Chief Minister. I refer the Chief Minister to a leaflet advertising a seminar which is to be conducted by Mr Stevenson in Chinchilla, Queensland, later this month. I seek leave to table a copy of that leaflet.
Leave granted.
MR BERRY: I present the following paper:
Positive Result Seminar, 27 and 28 April 1991 - Invitation.
Mr Speaker, in the leaflet Mr Stevenson is claimed to have:
... knocked back a proposed Ministerial package of $84,000 a year salary plus a car.
Given that the Labor Party has never offered Mr Stevenson a ministry, I ask the Chief Minister: When and why did you offer him a ministry? Or was it Bernard?
MR KAINE: Mr Speaker, I did not, ever.
MR BERRY: Mr Speaker, I have a supplementary question. Then, is the statement that an offer has been made a lie?
MR SPEAKER: That is not a valid question, I believe.
MR KAINE: The only comment that I could make on that, Mr Speaker, is that I certainly have made no such proposal to Mr Stevenson; nor would I. He is, you will note, not even one of the government members of this Assembly. I have certainly made no proposal and I did not even offer him $84,000.
Stromlo Forest - Trail Bikes
MR JENSEN: Mr Speaker, my question without notice is to the Minister for Finance and Urban Services, Mr Duby. Is the Minister aware of the objections raised by community groups to trail bike use of the Stromlo Forest trail bike area, and what action does the Minister propose to take to address these concerns?
MR DUBY: Yes, I am aware of the objections raised by community groups to the trail bike use of the Stromlo Forest area, and I would like to go over some of the points that are pertinent to this. The Stromlo trail bike area was originally established to provide an area for off-road use by trail bikes. Since then there has been a marked reduction in the illegal use of other areas for trail bike riding, and that was a problem which was faced by those within the Government responsible for park management.
