Therefore, I urgently request that our Committee that you shall delegate to handle this particular Petition, visits the area as a matter of urgency and assure the residents that one, sanity shall continue to prevail because maps exists to show where these parcels of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
