Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 5 Hansard (13 May) . . Page.. 1333 ..


MS TUCKER (continuing):

As I said, I am very disappointed that the debate has gone the way it has. It has not focused on the substance of my motion. Members have just copped out by going back into what they saw as problems of the School Without Walls, the tabling of this scandalous set of affidavits and Mr Moore's scandalous picking up of that as an appropriate argument on this issue. I just hope that Mr Osborne, even though he is not well, has been able to listen to the last part of the debate and will be able to vote sensibly.

Question put:

That the motion (Ms Tucker's) be agreed to.

The Assembly voted -

	AYES, 8	 	NOES, 9

	Mr Berry	Mrs Carnell
	Mr Corbell	Mr Cornwell
	Ms Horodny	Mr Hird
	Ms McRae	Mr Humphries
	Ms Reilly	Mr Kaine
	Ms Tucker	Mrs Littlewood
	Mr Whitecross	Mr Moore
	Mr Wood		Mr Osborne
			Mr Stefaniak
Question so resolved in the negative.
