He reports warning delays in reconnection and asks the House to ensure MPs are warned before any future cuts. A Canberra order dated October 16 is cited, with Senator Georges alleging the disconnections breach parliamentary privilege.

Canberra builders seek compensation over land allocation change
John Ainscough president of the ACT and Southern NSW division of the Housing Industry Association says compensation requests will be made to the Department of the Capital Territory as builders and the public suffer from the new land allocation system. Leases near others were sold at prices 7000 to 18000 pounds lower than auction, leaving many in ruinous positions with little prospect of government help. The HIA may consider claims, and the national headquarters will move from Melbourne to Canberra.
