got lots of Zed’s, thank you, and lots of Alistair’s, and a classic from Mr Hargreaves, in your camel trading outfit; we appreciate that.
There have been some good headlines that the media did not use, and I will just go through a few that I have managed to think of: “Chief Minister rescued from treetop: emergency services ask him to try and control his friskiness”; “Canberra libraries get state-of-the-art pins for noticeboard: Liberals decry massive new tacks”; “Andrew Barr rushed to emergency room: accidentally slashed finger while slashing red tape”; “Prankster releases monkeys into the Assembly chamber: nobody notices anything different for three days”. That was a bit sad, that one. “Government announces the inaugural award for most ribbon cutting: Ms Porter launches the award and presents it to herself”; “Building rating assessment reveals the Legislative Assembly has four Green stars”—but, of course, we all realise it has been that way since October 2008; “Ginninderra MLAs start up an international chocolate company: Coe and Co’s Cocoa Co go global”—
Mr Seselja: We always knew you had a soft spot for Alistair Coe.
MS LE COUTEUR: Absolutely. Others are: “Liberals criticise the ACT for being a nanny state: Liberals introduce a bill to ban banning”; I am waiting for it. And this is one that we are all doing: “MLAs do their bit for national recycling week: we all commit to continue the recycling of Assembly speeches”.
In conclusion I would just like to say: where would we be without the media and where would we be without all of us and all of our constituents, the citizens of the ACT and the world as a whole? I just hope that we are all working towards a better place. We try. Happy Christmas and merry new year to you all.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.29 pm until Tuesday, 15 February 2011, at 10 am.
