The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Lia Finocchiaro CLP
“Madam Speaker, I present a Bill titled the Housing, Transport and Surveillance Devices Legislation Amendment (Police Public Safety Officers) Bill 2025, Serial 44, and table the explanatory statement. I move that the Bill be now read a first time.”
Selena Uibo ALP
“Madam Speaker, under Standing Order 252, I move the suspension of so much of standing orders and sessional orders which would prevent me from moving a motion now to refer the Housing, Transport and Surveillance Devices Legislation Amendment (Police and Public Safety Officers) Bill 2025, Serial 44, to the Legislative Scrutiny Committee.”
Steven Edgington CLP
“Madam Speaker, the motion is not accepted. Sessional Order 13.5 is clear about the process for this Bill.”
Matthew Kerle CLP
“Madam Speaker, I support this Bill. I will follow up some of the points that the Member for Drysdale made in his contribution. Antisocial behaviour in and around public housing continues to be the greatest issue in my electorate. It was the biggest issue during the campaign and when I came into office, and it continues to be the biggest issue. This morning I went through emails from last night.”
Laurie Zio CLP
“Madam Speaker, I affirm the importance and positive impact of the police public safety officer model for the Northern Territory and outline what this reform will mean in practical terms for the people of the Fannie Bay electorate.”
Chanston Paech ALP
“Madam Speaker, I take the opportunity to contribute to this Bill because it is important and will have a significant impact across all Northern Territory communities. I raise concerns again at the CLP government’s constant demonisation of public housing tenants. Mr Kerle: No, antisocial behaviour.”
