Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 11 Hansard (10 December) . . Page.. 3519 ..


Ms Tucker: So what am I going to do? I am walking, am I?

MR HUMPHRIES: What we are going to get for you, Ms Tucker, is that car that Fred Flintstone used to drive. Just use your feet to go; no fossil fuels. You are going to be 100 per cent environmentally sensitive, no problems at all.

Finally, Mr Speaker, I have not forgotten anyone, not even Mr Moore. Mr Moore was kind enough to collaborate with me last year when I had laryngitis and deliver my speech on my behalf. I am pleased to say that he has assisted me this year, so I am in a sense delivering a speech on his behalf. I suppose last year's cooperation was an eerie portent of what was going to happen this year. Mr Speaker, I understand that Mr Moore has driven a number of Kombi vans in his life, so he will have a Kombi van this time around as well; but in light of his jump up in status in the world I think it should be a Kombi van with GT stripes, mag wheels and a Rolls Royce hood ornament.

Mr Speaker, with those Christmas presents endowed by both Mr Kaine and I, I also join in wishing members a happy and generous Christmas period, and a return to the fray next year, refreshed and relaxed.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Assembly adjourned at 5.55 pm until Tuesday, 2 February 1999, at 10.30 am.
