Tonight’s session was very good. Great(orex) to have this opportunuity to observe the mechanics in action. Some members impress more that others. Excellent deliberations around the nuclear dump issue and the incumbent government’s resolve to object to their federal counterpart’s insistence that it not be imposed on the NT without due regard for alternative sites based on scientific evidence. Great(orex) to observe robust debate that differs between party positions. Politics in action. Also interesting to hear from various members of activity within their respective electorates and that they actively advocate on behalf of their respective constituents.
I’ve been advised that I should not name other assembly members by name but rather by the seat they represent. So, given that, I am impressed with the Member for Brennan’s performance and the integrity he displays within the House. The Members for Stuart, Barkly, Nelson and Johnson all spoke very well in support of their positions. I continue to be singularly unimpressed by the antics of the Member of Fong-Lim. His behaviour must be a huge embarassment to his party and his electorate.
Sincere thanks to the Executive Officer for the Clerk of the Legislative Assembly for her excellent assistance with my questions and her explanations of the Parliamentary processes.
Ther are some interesting notices to be debated at tomorrow’s session. Stay tuned.
