RETURNING OF PETITIONS

RETURNING OF PETITIONS

30 August 1999

Member for Lismore, Thomas George would like to remind people that NSW Parliament resumes on Tuesday 7 September and outstanding petitions on the septic tank legislation and gun law reform should be returned to my office. I anticipate formally tabling the petitions to NSW Parliament during the opening week of the spring session.

The petition, once presented will be referred to the responsible Minister, being The Hon Harry Woods, Minister for Local Government and The Hon. Paul Whelan, Minister for Police for their notice.

The public response has been very favourable and I am pleased with the support from constituents to date. A large number of petitions have been returned and as indicated on the form, all petitions need to be returned before 7 September.

If you have any problems in returning the petition, please contact my office on 6621 3624.
