Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 12 Hansard (20 November) . . Page.. 3838 ..

MR MOORE (continuing):

Mr Speaker, it was always a great pleasure to talk to Bill Pye. I remember particularly when either you or your predecessor hosted a meeting here for previous members of the House of Assembly and various bodies. At that time I had a long discussion with Bill Pye about the service that he gave to the House of Assembly and the sorts of things that he was trying to achieve. When it is summed up, if we had more citizens like Bill Pye, Canberra would be a far better place.

Question resolved in the affirmative, members standing in their places.

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 Parliament that: the undersigned residents living in the Belconnen area can identify huge benefits to our community from the proposed project to introduce much needed community, sporting and other amenities by the Belconnen Soccer Club.
