Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 6 Hansard (18 June) . . Page.. 1757 ..
MS REILLY: I ask a supplementary question. Minister, is the reality that because the LAPAC covering Turner has become difficult to deal with you got rid of it?
MR HUMPHRIES: No, we have not, because they are still there. There is still a LAPAC covering Turner. In fact, the representatives of the Turner Residents Association came to see me and said they wanted to be included with the residents of Braddon. They felt the - - -
Ms McRae: But you cannot appoint them and they might not be there.
MR HUMPHRIES: I am not proposing to appoint them. They said, "We want to be in with the residents of Braddon".

It is going to continue. What more do you want?
Mrs Carnell: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
MS McRAE: Mr Speaker, I seek leave, under standing order 46, to make a personal explanation.
MR SPEAKER: Proceed.
MS McRAE: Mr Speaker, I can understand why Mrs Carnell wants to attack me when she has the recognition rate she has. Forty-four per cent do not know how to vote and only 21 per cent will vote Liberal. She is clutching at any straw. What neither she nor Mr Pangallo chose to point out was that on 16 May, the day after the article appeared in the Canberra Times, an article appeared with a huge headline in the Queanbeyan Age not only on page 3 but also on page 1. I seek leave to table that article.
Leave granted.
MS McRAE: Perhaps Mrs Carnell can proceed to tell people that the apology was in the Queanbeyan Age and that Mayor Pangallo saw it. If Mayor Pangallo chooses to pay no attention to it, it is his problem, not mine.
