YOUR POLICY MONEY
PEOPLE,
WE
OF
MOVE
QUESTION:
MR GOVERNOR, WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SPEECH FROM WHICH WE KNOW THAT YOU'RE GOING TO PUT IN A LOT OF INTO SOCIAL WELFARE, ESPECIALLY TO LOOK AFTER THE HANDICAPPED то PROVIDE THEM WITH RESIDENTIAL PLACES AND SHELTERED WORKSHOPS. ARE VERY HAPPY ABOUT THAT. I AM PHYSICALLY-HANDICAPPED AND MANY OUR MEMBERS HAVE DIFFICULTY TO GO ON TO THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT TO ABOUT, SO WOULD YOU PROMISE TO DISCUSS WITH THE MTRC AND THE BUS WE CAN COMPANIES TO TAKE CARE OF OUR NEEDS IN THIS RESPECT, SO THAT MOVE ABOUT ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND WE CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO SOCIETY AGAIN?
GOVERNOR:
HOW
MOBILE
BIGGEST
I THINK YOU RAISE WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WHICH PEOPLE WITH A HANDICAP, LIKE YOU, FACE, AND THAT IS HOW YOUR YOU CAN
EXERCISE AVOID BEING DEPENDENT ON OTHERS, HOW YOU CAN INDEPENDENCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, AND THAT OF COURSE IS VERY LARGELY I SAW JUST DEPENDENT ON YOUR MOBILITY, WHETHER YOU CAN GET AROUND.
SOME PEOPLE IN CHAIRS CAN BE, AT THE SPORTS INSTITUTE FOUNDATION A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHEN I SAW SOME OF OUR EXTREMELY GOOD DISABLED
PARALYMPICS. TABLE TENNIS PLAYERS WHO WERE GOING OFF TO THE THEY WOULD HAVE ALL BEATEN ME WITH THE VERY GREATEST EASE.
TRANSPORT OBVIOUSLY, PUBLIC
PRESENTS PARTICULAR PROBLEMS DISABLED AND I WILL CERTAINLY TAKE UP WITH THE RAILWAY COMPANIES THE BUS COMPANIES THE POINTS THAT YOU'VE RAISED, AND
YOU LIKE, WE'LL TRY TO ORGANISE A MEETING WITH THEM AT WHICH YOU CAN ACCOMPANY ME.
IF
BUT
FOR
THE
AND
QUESTION:
ALL
MR PATTEN, I HAVE ONE QUESTION TO ASK WHICH I THINK THE SOCIETY AND
HAVE THE LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEMBERS ALONG NEGLECTED; IT'S THE QUESTION OF DRUG-ABUSE.
OF YOUNG A LOT PEOPLE TODAY ARE ABUSING COUGH-DROPS, MARIJUANA, HEROIN, AND A LOT PEOPLE ARE ABUSING SLEEPING-PILLS AND TRANQUILISERS, AND THEIR METHODS AND OF DRUG-ABUSE ARE BECOMING VERY DIFFERENT NOW AND THERE ARE MORE MORE PEOPLE DOING THIS. SO MAY I ASK YOU, AFTER YOU HAVE SETTLED THE ASKING ISSUES ABOUT THE AIRPORT AND THE POLITICAL SYSTEM SO I'M NOT FOR THE FIRST PRIORITY
RESOLVED
IMPORTANT AFTER YOU HAVE
THESE ISSUES, WILL YOU PUT YOUR ATTENTION TO TACKLE THIS SITUATION?
I THINK,
-
PERHAPS, I SHOULD
-
GOVERNOR:
GIVE IT EVEN EARLIER
TO ATTENTION. I'M SURE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO I HOPE WE'LL BE ABLE SETTLE THE AIRPORT REASONABLY SOON. BUT WHAT YOU WILL ALL KNOW, WHEN BUILT ON YOU FLY INTO THE NEW AIRPORT IN THE FUTURE, IS THAT IT 18
MORE MORE WORDS AND MORE NEGOTIATING MEETINGS AND MORE PROPOSALS AND DISAGREEMENTS,
IT'S GOING TO THAN ANY AIRPORT IN THE WORLD. MOST FAMOUS AIRPORT THERE'S EVER BEEN.
BE THE
DRUG-ABUSE IS AN APPALLING PROBLEM FOR TWO REASONS. BECOME FIRST OF ALL, STRANGELY, AS SOCIETIES ALL OVER THE WORLD HAVE MORE
HAD MORE PROSPEROUS, AND AS THEORETICALLY, YOUNG PEOPLE
PEOPLE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THE MOST OF THEMSELVES, SO MORE HAVE
THAT ABUSED THEIR BODIES AND THEIR MINDS WITH DRUGS. DOES FIRST OF ALL, IS TO DESTROY THEIR LIVES.
HAVE
YOUNG
AND
WHAT
/SECONDLY, THERE
