Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (2 December) . . Page.. 4293 ..
MR MOORE: The interjection from Mr Berry is, "Michael, be tolerant of people who have different ideas from yours". The irony of that comment, Mr Speaker, is not to be missed.
Mr Humphries: It is lost on him.
MR MOORE: As Mr Humphries interjects, it is probably lost on Mr Berry. It seems to me, Mr Speaker, that the National Capital Futures Conference was an attempt at direct participation. It is difficult. It is a messy business. We probably can do it better; but we are going to achieve very little if, apart from the next couple of months, we spend the next three, six, or 10 years just having somebody sitting in opposition, bagging for the sake of bagging, instead of looking at finding ways to work with other people to get the best possible outcomes for the people of this Territory.
Report on Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 3 of 1997 -
Government Response
MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (4.09): Mr Speaker, for the information of members, I present the Government's response to Report No. 28 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, entitled "Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 3, 1997 - 1995-96 Territory Operating Loss", which was presented to the Assembly on 28 August 1997. I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Mr Speaker, I wonder whether I could have my tabling speech incorporated in Hansard.
Mr Whitecross: No. Mr Speaker, as chair of the committee, I might want to respond to it. I am not going to be able to respond to it if Mrs Carnell does not speak.
MRS CARNELL: I am happy to read it.
Mrs Littlewood: It is 28 pages long.
MRS CARNELL: No; it is not that one. They are going to make me read that one as well.
MR SPEAKER: Read it to them slowly, Chief Minister.
Leave not granted.
MRS CARNELL: I am pleased to table the Government's response to Report No. 28 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, entitled "Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 3, 1997 - 1995-96 Territory Operating Loss". The Government is appreciative of the work of the committee and welcomes the committee's report.
