MR HANSON: She mentioned the prison. That is right, Mr Seselja. She talked about what a wonderful initiative it was. She neglected to mention that it was a year late; that it was reduced in scale by about 25 per cent; that is does not have a gym, as was planned; that it does not have a chapel. When it was opened, it was opened without a number of the security apparatus that should have been up and working but were not and, as a result, drugs, needles and razor blades got into the prison.
There was no mention of $57 million in rollovers in ACT Health this year. No, it has been another bad week for the people of the ACT and, I would have to say, another bad week for the Stanhope Labor government. Anyone who is a keen observer of this place would have been here on Tuesday or would have listened to—or I would invite them to read the Hansard—the speeches which were given by the government. They were simply a matter of time wasting, trying to fill the agenda, trying to speak for the sake of filling the day when this government has run out of the legislative agenda. They have run out of ideas; they have run out of initiative, of motivation; and they spend more of their time squabbling and having factional meetings than they do in governing the ACT.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.48 pm until Tuesday, 15 September 2009, at 10 am.
