31 Jan 06 | RATHER like balloons floating over Canberra buoyed by hot air, it seems to me that much of the debate on whether Pierces Creek settlement should be extended is powered by hot air. It certainly ignores the duty of the National Capital Authority (NCA) laid down by Parliament as a national planning body for Canberra's role as national capital. To say, as some commentators do, that this role should be limited to the Parliamentary Triangle is dissembling.
