Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 4 Hansard (30 March) . . Page.. 1196 ..

MS CARNELL (continuing):

It has produced the lowest unemployment rate and the highest growth rates in this country. For the first time, the ACT is at the top of the pops with the lowest unemployment and the highest growth rates. That would tend to indicate that the Government is doing something that is working extremely well. I would have to say that what this Government is doing is encouraging businesses to set up in the ACT. It is a government that has the capacity to make decisions quickly, based upon all the facts we need.

Mr Quinlan: We have seen the results. We are not going to deny that.

MS CARNELL: Mr Quinlan said, "Let us see the results". We have 5.3 per cent unemployment and 7 per cent growth. Heavens, Mr Speaker, what more do those opposite want? You cannot be better than the best, and the best is what we are, Mr Speaker. I am pretty proud of that.

MR SPEAKER: The question is that the motion be agreed to.

Mr Rugendyke: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to call for a vote and to vote with the ayes.

Leave granted.
