ADJOURNMENT
Motion (by Ms Follett) proposed:
That the Assembly do now adjourn.
Photo Caption Competition
MR HUMPHRIES (5.38): Madam Speaker, I have Mr Connolly right where I want him at the moment. He is feeling warm and affectionate, and is talking about all sorts of wonderful cross-party bipartisanship. It seems to me, Madam Speaker, a perfect time to announce the winners of the Terry Connolly photo caption competition. Members will recall that there was circulated a catching photograph of Mr Connolly from page 15 or so of the Canberra Times in the course of this week. I think it was Monday's Canberra Times. A great many entries have flooded in from all over the ACT, especially from the fifth floor. There were quite a few from the fifth floor.
Mr Wood: I did not get one.
MR HUMPHRIES: You did not? I am sorry. It is too late to enter.
Mr Stevenson: Which fifth floor?
MR HUMPHRIES: I am sorry; the second floor. I would like to announce some of my favourites from this list, Madam Speaker. In case members have not seen it, the caption is for a picture of the Minister behind bars at, I think, the Belconnen Remand Centre. Here are some of the entries:
. These weren't the bars I had in mind for the 3am curfew!
. If this is what community consultation results in, then forget it!
. A suspect (unnamed) awaiting trial at London's Old Bailey during the great Tim Tam Robbery Trial.
. His Honour, Mr Justice Berry presiding ...
I do not know what that means; and these are all anonymous:
. Health Minister, Terry Connolly, inspects the offices provided for him by bureaucrats at Woden Valley Hospital.
. New bail laws welcomed by AFP.
