National Sports Campus Development Authority Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (3 May 2006)

John Curran: The last day I spoke to the Bill I noted that when people talked about the development at Abbotstown, they referred to it as a national development.

Drug Abuse: Motion (Resumed). (24 May 2006)

Courts (Register of Sentences) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (31 May 2006)

Government Record: Motion. (4 Jul 2006)

John Curran: I totally reject the sentiments expressed in this grossly inaccurate motion.
