Sixth Assembly
WELCOME FROM THE SPEAKER, MR WAYNE BERRY, MLA
On behalf of the members of the Sixth Legislative Assembly
for the Australian Capital Territory, I would like to welcome
you to the Assembly's official website.
The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) was granted self-government
in 1989. The election for the First Assembly was held on 4
March 1989 and the first sitting took place on 11 May 1989
in rented premises at No 1 Constitution Avenue, Canberra City.
Prior to self-government, the ACT was administered by the
Federal Parliament, with the first ACT Advisory Council established
in 1930.
The Sixth Assembly is comprised of 17 elected representatives—the
Australian Labor Party holds nine seats, the Liberal Party
holds seven seats and the ACT Greens holds one seat. The ACT
Legislative Assembly is unique in Australia because it holds
the power to look after both state and local functions of
the territory.
From this website you have access to up-to-date member and
committee information, parliamentary documents, including
minutes of proceedings, notice papers and daily programmes,
contact details, and information for students and teachers.
I hope you will take the time to explore the site and learn
more about the history and role of the Legislative Assembly
and its elected representatives.
Any suggestions or comments you may have about the ways in
which the site can be improved are welcome and should be addressed
to
secretariat@parliament.act.gov.au
