Ms Follett: Stop shouting.
MR STEVENSON: You are a lot further away. I want to make sure that you hear. It is nonsense. Just because you are a member of a party you think you have to stand up for somebody is one of the worst traditions that has ever befallen this nation. The sooner people sack people who do that, people who will not stand up in this Assembly, look at the evidence and give people a fair hearing instead of voting along political party lines, the better.
PETITIONS
The Clerk: The following petitions have been lodged for presentation:
By Mr Kaine, from a resident, requesting that the Assembly legislate to ensure the security of tenure and the licence of the Belconnen Trash and Treasure, and to do so in a manner that defines the rights and obligations of the organisers, Belconnen Rotary, stallholders and the public.
By Ms Szuty, from 286 residents, requesting that the Assembly not approve the draft variation to the Territory Plan for North Watson.
The terms of these petitions will be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate Minister.
Belconnen Trash and Treasure
The petition read as follows:
To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
The petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly: That we, the undersigned are in favour of the Trash 'n' Treasure run by Belconnen Rotary continuing to operate in its present location on Sundays 6am - 1pm.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to:
Legislate and/or enforce existing legislation in such a manner as to ensure the security of tenure in respect of the venue and licence and to do so in a manner that clearly defines the rights and obligations of the organizers, Belconnen Rotary; stallholders; and the public; and with particular regard to the curtailment of meddling by those with but a spurious interest in the market.
