DURING THINK, I
MONTHS,
THIS
IF WE'RE NOT COUNCIL WILL
TOTAL
THE NEXT FEW COUNCIL WILL WANT TO KNOW HOW WE SEE THE WAY FORWARD GOING TO HAVE AN OVERALL AGREEMENT, AND I'M SURE THIS WANT US TO PROCEED IN A WAY WHICH ALWAYS HAS THE DOOR OPEN TO A AGREEMENT, TO A TOTAL PACKAGE, BECAUSE EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THAT'S THE BEST WAY FORWARD. BUT I DON'T, MYSELF, BELIEVE THAT IT'S ΤΟ SEEK OUT DEADLINES, TO SEEK OUT WHERE YOU CAN THROW PULL PLUGS, UNLESS IT'S ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
-
WE WHERE
ADVISABLE SWITCHES AND
HAVE MORE DIFFICULTY IS
THE IN THE 1994 QUESTION OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE ARRANGEMENT FOR DISTRICT BOARD ELECTIONS AND MUNICIPAL COUNCIL ELECTIONS, AND THE 1995
WE ON THOSE MATTERS,
CAN'T LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
SIMPLY ELECTIONS.
THROUGH MARK TIME UNTIL THE END OF 1993 OR THE END OF 1994 OR HALFWAY 1995, WE DO HAVE TO TAKE DECISIONS IN ORDER TO GET THE ARRANGEMENTS IN BUT AS SENIOR CHINESE I'D PLACE
AND
BETTER NOT QUOTE THEM
QUITE OFFICIALS HAVE ACCEPTED, THIS COUNCIL WILL HAVE TO TAKE A VIEW, EARLY IN 1993, ON THESE MATTERS. IT'S NOT FORCING THE PACE. I DON'T HAVE, AS
REPUTATION I
THE THINK
COUNCIL WILL KNOW, A CONFRONTATIONAL POLITICIAN. I USED TO BE DESCRIBED WITH HONOUR- AS AN "ARCH-WET”. I AM SOMEBODY WHO POSSIBLE, FOR AGREEMENT,
A PHRASE, TO COIN PRINCIPLED POSITION.
—
BUT
I'M MUCH
ΤΟ OBLIGED

AS A WORE WHENEVER ON A
A BADGE I LOOKS, AGREEMENT
THIS COUNCIL.
ACCORDANCE WITH STANDING ORDERS I NOW ADJOURN THE COUNCIL UNTIL
ON WEDNESDAY, 28TH OCTOBER 1992.
