Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 8 Hansard (27 June) . . Page.. 2223 ..

MR DE DOMENICO (Minister for Urban Services) (10.34): I present the Motor Traffic (Alcohol and Drugs) (Amendment) Bill 1996, together with its explanatory memorandum.

Title read by Clerk.

MR DE DOMENICO: I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

I seek leave to have my presentation speech incorporated in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Speech incorporated at Appendix 2.

Debate (on motion by Mr Whitecross) adjourned.

MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General) (10.35): I present the Community Referendum Bill 1996, together with its explanatory memorandum.

Title read by Clerk.

MR HUMPHRIES: I move:

That this Bill be agreed to in principle.

This Bill is identical to the Community Referendum Bill introduced by the Government and defeated in the Assembly last year. The Bill is being reintroduced to keep faith with the Government's election commitment to introduce community-initiated referenda legislation in the ACT.

Mr Osborne: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. I wonder whether you could send an attendant outside to keep down the noise from the crowd. I would like to hear what Mr Humphries has to say.

MR SPEAKER: There is no point of order, Mr Osborne. Mr Humphries, continue.

MR HUMPHRIES: There is more than enough noise in here to make up for it, Mr Speaker.
