This building will be the home of the ACT Legislative Assembly for many decades to come. It will be a long time, if ever, before we build another. It is appropriately located on Civic Square, and I believe that the people who turned this old building into what we have today do deserve to be commended. It is a credit to them. It will be here, as I said, many decades from now, and in some respects it will be a monument to their efforts and their work. I express my personal thanks for that.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
CANCER TREATMENT
Discussion of Matter of Public Importance
MADAM SPEAKER: I have received a letter from Mr Stevenson proposing that a matter of public importance be submitted to the Assembly for discussion, namely:
The need for the ACT Government to recognise and implement new methods for the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Mr De Domenico: Where is he?
MADAM SPEAKER: That is that. We will proceed to executive business.
ELECTORAL (AMENDMENT) BILL 1993
Detail Stage
Clause 22, as amended
Debate resumed.
MADAM SPEAKER: We were dealing with the Government's amendments r. to ze. which are set out on the pink sheets. Mr Humphries had addressed amendment r. and the Chief Minister was to respond. The question before us is: That the amendments be agreed to.
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.20): Yes, Madam Speaker, we were debating amendments r. to ze. on the pink sheets. I believe that Mr Humphries's query about the absence of a fourth paragraph in proposed new section 214A has been answered. For the sake of completeness, Madam Speaker, I point out that section 214 still applies. Section 214 applies to all candidates, whether they are with parties, they are Independents or they are with non-party groups. Therefore, section 214A does not need that additional fourth paragraph. It would be redundant to include the fourth paragraph in section 214A, since the fourth paragraph in section 214 applies to these non-party groups.
Amendments agreed to.
