Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 8 Hansard (26 August) . . Page.. 2451 ..


Acton Peninsula - Demolition of Buildings

MR WOOD: My question is to the Chief Minister. I have paid careful attention, Mr Speaker, to the comments you made a short time ago. Chief Minister, in answer to Mr Berry's question a short time ago, you said you received informal industry advice about the implosion before the Eagle Hawk bombing decision. Was this the Glenn advice or was it some other advice?

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, I think I made it clear that it was the Glenn report. The Glenn report came in in two parts. The first part was received in mid-1995, pre August; and then there was a second supplement in February 1996.

MR WOOD: Mr Speaker, would the first half and the second half be available to be tabled?

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, they have been made available to the inquirer.

Mr Berry: No; we want them tabled with us.

Mr Whitecross: To us; that was the question you were asked.

Mr Humphries: They are before the inquiry; that is the appropriate place for them.

Mr Berry: Are we not allowed to see them?

Ms McRae: Mr Speaker, he asked a supplementary question. Is she going to answer it or just chatter?

Mrs Carnell: I am sorry; that is in the hands of the inquirer now. They have all gone.

Mr Corbell: I take a point of order, Mr Speaker.

MR SPEAKER: Order! Would everybody on my left stop chattering while Mr Corbell takes a point of order.

Mr Corbell: Mr Wood asked the Chief Minister a supplementary question. She has not got to her feet and answered it. Can I ask you to direct her to answer that question.

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, I thought I did answer the question. The documents that have gone to the inquirer or to the coroner are with the inquirer or the coroner.

Mr Berry: So the answer is no.

MRS CARNELL: That is where they are.
