00:11and several fresh faces, one of whom avoided detention after putting his own spin on the
00:18uniform. While going without a tie isn't technically breaking the rules, the speaker was not impressed.
00:25But I also don't wish to make a ruling as a speaker that a member cannot participate
00:29in proceedings should they not be wearing a tie. Sartorial matters sorted, attention
00:34turned to first speeches. Independent Fiona Carrick was quick off the mark on her signature
00:40issue, later tabling a motion about the status of the Phillip Pool in a proposed development
00:46by the site's owner, Geocon. We need to understand the risks of privately owned community facilities
00:52and know when public ownership is a better option. A commitment to the basics shared
00:57by another New Southsider making his first contribution. The Bar Labor Government is
01:03loudly embracing the unsexy projects in Tuggeradong. Fixing footpaths and streetlights, improving
01:09schools and shopping centres. On her first day at the helm, Leanne Casley resurrected
01:14one of the Liberal's election policies, pushing for more funding for the Integrity Commission.
01:20This is the first order of business for the Canberra Liberals is to make sure that the
01:23Integrity Commission is adequately resourced. While the woman she replaced cut a lonely
01:28figure on the backbench. The question now is how long will she stay there?
