made a formal recognition that the Assembly was meeting on the lands of the traditional owners, 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 petitions were lodged for presentation: Dragway By Dr Foskey, from 2,804 residents: 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: • We value the peace and quiet enjoyed by residents in the Majura Valley and the suburbs of Watson, Hackett, Ainslie and Campbell. • The Mt Ainslie/Majura Nature Reserve is one of Canberra’s favourite public places, which we also value for its peace and quiet. • The proposed dragway at block 51, Majura Valley will generate levels of noise pollution that will destroy what we value. • Other impacts of the proposed dragway concern us too, because they threaten Aboriginal and European heritage, wildlife corridors, the Molonglo catchment, and the productivity of agricultural land. • Spending large amounts of public money on a private dragway is unacceptable to us, particularly in times of budgetary hardship. • We strongly object to any ongoing subsidies for the proposed dragway, or any further expenditure of public money beyond what has been appropriated ($8m). • In short, the costs of the dragway (both financial and non-financial) are unreasonable, and therefore unacceptable to us. Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to abandon the proposal to build a dragway on Block 51, Majura Valley. Schools—closures By Ms Porter, from 47 residents: TO THE HONORABLE SPEAKER AND MEMBERS OF THE A.C.T. LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY: We the undersigned draws to the attention of the assembly to keep Hall Primary open. 2837 19 September 2006 Legislative Assembly for the ACT The closing of this unique and historical school will have a severe effect on the students, the bus service and the Hall economy: Your petitioners therefore request the A.C.T. Legislative Assembly not to close Hall Primary. Schools—closures By Ms Porter, from 14 residents: TO THE SPEAKER AND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY PETITION from Watson Preschool P&C on Towards 2020: Renewing our Schools regarding the closure of Hackett Pre School. We the undersigned believe that the closure of Hackett Pre School will have an unacceptable impact on Watson Preschool. Currently, and in the past, Watson Pre School has run at close to its full capacity of fifty children (e.g. 48 out of 50 places in 2006). Closure of Hackett Pre School would increase the demand within area of Watson Preschool. This could result in several unacceptable scenarios, such as ‘in-area’ families being unable to obtain a place in Watson Pre School due to over demand, ‘out of area’ families with older siblings in Majura Primary (just across the road) being unable to obtain a place in Watson Pre School resulting in transportation difficulties, children attending Nipperville (the nearby day care centre) being unable to obtain a place. Consequently, we the undersigned request that Hackett Pre School should remain open as we believe the closure of Hackett Pre School will have a negative impact on Watson Pre School. Schools—closures By Ms Porter, from 19 residents: TO THE SPEAKER AND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY PETITION from Watson Preschool P&C on Towards 2020: Renewing our Schools regarding the closure of Dickson College. We the undersigned request that Dickson College should remain open so that the students of North Canberra have access to a locally based secondary school. The Clerk having announced that the terms of the petitions would be recorded in Hansard and a copy of each referred to the appropriate minister, the petitions were received. Dragway DR FOSKEY (Molonglo): I seek leave to make a statement regarding the petition on the dragway. 2838 Legislative Assembly for the ACT 19 September 2006 Leave granted. DR FOSKEY: This petition, calling for the proposed dragway to be abandoned, was handed over to me at a ceremony on Trevor and Sonja Brogan’s farm, “Gladefield”, in the Majura Valley. People would know that that is the proposed site for the dragway. Trevor and Sonja are very concerned that they will lose that farm and all the work that they have put into it if the proposed dragway goes ahead, work involving

    P lu n g in g 5 into politics Should sports stars dive in? When you consider what makes a successful politician, three things stand out: to succeed, a politician must be reasonably popular, they should have a fairly high profile, and most important of all, they have to be credible. If that’s basically what it takes, there’s a select band of Australians boots. "Some translate their public standing into lucrative who have all the right qualifications in spades - Australia’s top sponsorship deals, or a career as a commentator," she says. sports people. Jackie Kelly says sitting politicians are lucky that more elite sports Most of our best sportsmen and women boast the sort of profile people don’t attempt to win seats in Parliament. “They’d do very and popularity a politician would kill for, and it seems everything a well,” she says, "at least initially. However, when they came to put sports star utters, no matter how banal, finds its way into the media. themselves up for a second term, they'd be assessed just like every other politician." It’s surprising then that so few of our top athletes have translated their public standing into a political career. The Member for the ACT seat of Fraser, Bob McMullan, has never represented his country in sport, but the Shadow Minister for There are some notable exceptions, among them cycling great Aboriginal Affairs is a self-confessed sports nut. He also knows what Sir Hubert Opperman who represented the seat of Corio in the political parties are looking for in their candidates, having served as House of Representatives between 1949 and 1967, and held an ALP State and National Secretary before entering Parliament.

  • 27 June 2006 EDITORIAL: a More Sustainable
    27 June 2006 EDITORIAL: A more sustainable Australia needs better public policy By Michael Mullins & James Massola The online magazine New Matilda may be Eureka Street's competition, but it shares with us the conviction that better public policy is the key to achieving a fairer and more sustainable future. The long-term good of the nation is at the heart of New Matilda’s recently-launched Reclaiming our Common Wealth. It's a campaign that aims to inject into a regime of policy development, a degree of rigour, and values such as good citizenship and ethical responsibility. The questions posed, and suggestions made, go beyond the ‘What’s in for me?’ approach that dominates our national Zeitgeist. The questions are more profound, and more vexing, than current political leaders would have us believe. The document Reclaiming our Common Wealth would see our laws formed not on the basis of whim, or political expediency, but something much deeper. During its 16 year history, Eureka Street has tried to play a part in setting the agenda for national public debate. We have not gone to the extent of formulating policy like New Matilda. But many of our articles have policy input as their underlying agenda. For instance, in this issue Frank Brennan highlights the need to work out policies that address ethical questions that accompany the medical breakthroughs promised by embryonic stem cell research. He warns against the dangers of a fundamentalism or intransigence in some religious leaders, that is disengaged from the conscience of the nation. But the same time, he says some of the promoters of the research 'have played fast and loose with the processes of political deliberation.' If Brennan sees fundamentalism and impatience as the enemies of good policy, Francis Sullivan identifies timidity and loss of nerve as major stumbling blocks.
