Motion (by Mr Corbell) proposed:
That the Assembly do now adjourn.
Fire levy
MR PRATT (Brindabella) (4.59 am): Mr Speaker, I wish to raise a matter which would normally be raised under standing order 46. The Chief Minister stated that I had made a statement declaring that our position or my position was for the abolition of all taxes and rates. In an interjection across the chamber, I said to the Chief Minister that I stood for the abolition of the fire levy. That is as far as I went on that issue.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 5.00 am (Friday) until Tuesday, 19 September 2006 at 10.30 am.
