MADAM SPEAKER (Mrs Dunne) took the chair at 10 am and asked members to stand in silence and pray or reflect on their responsibilities to the people of the Australian Capital Territory.
Petitions
The following petition was lodged for presentation, by Mr Wall, from 2,619 residents:
Lottery products—petition No 13-15
To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
This petition of certain residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly that: NSW Lotteries and Woolworths petrol stations have entered into an agreement in the ACT that allows for Woolworths petrol stations to sell a full range of lottery products, therefore, threatening the viability of small businesses in the ACT that currently sell these products in a responsible manner. It also exposes ACT residents that are at risk of problem gambling to greater access to these products in a less controlled environment.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to: support any legislative move that prevents the sale of lottery products in the ACT by corporate giants such as Woolworths and Coles.
The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petition would be recorded in Hansard and a copy referred to the appropriate minister for response pursuant to standing order 100, the petition was received.
