LEGAL AFFAIRS - STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992 -
Government Response and Paper
MR LAMONT (Minister for Urban Services, Minister for Housing and Community Services, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Sport) (3.14): For the information of members, I present the Government's response to the report of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs on the Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992 and move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
My purpose in speaking today is to respond to report No. 3 of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs, which deals with the Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992. On 9 December 1992 Mr Humphries introduced a private members Bill, the Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992, which, if passed, would have banned the riding of skateboards and bicycles in certain situations. On 16 June 1993, the Legislative Assembly adjourned the debate and referred the Bill to the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs.
The committee's subsequent four recommendations were that the Legislative Assembly not proceed with the Traffic (Amendment) Bill (No. 2) 1992; that a public education campaign on the safe use of skateboards, rollerblades and bicycles be coordinated by the youth affairs section of the Chief Minister's Department; that skateboarding facilities similar to those at Belconnen be established at Civic and Phillip; and that the section 56 car park in Civic be considered for the establishment of a skateboard facility.
