MS FOLLETT: Perhaps Mr Kaine would repeat the supplementary question.

Mr Kaine: The question, Mr Speaker, was quite direct and specific. Can I assume that although you claim to have initiated consultations, in fact at this stage you have consulted with nobody?

MS FOLLETT: No, Mr Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has no right to make any such assumption, and he is quite wrong. I believe that the release of documents does constitute consultation. What documents are so far available have been released - - -

Mr Kaine: Well, at least now we know what "consultation" means.

MR SPEAKER: Order!

MS FOLLETT: And there have been some preliminary discussions occurring with some groups. As I have said to Mr Kaine, I have yet to discuss with my own Ministers - - -

Mr Kaine: Well, I asked you who, and you did not answer that either.

MR SPEAKER: Order, Mr Kaine!

MS FOLLETT: I have yet to discuss with my own Ministers the budget strategy that will be occurring later this week, and as soon as the Government's strategy has been set in place we will be proceeding with the consultation program that I have already announced.

DISALLOWED QUESTION

Mr Collaery proceeding to address a question to Mrs Grassby - - -

MR SPEAKER: Order! The question does not relate to ministerial responsibility.

ACT Building Contracts

MR COLLAERY: Mr Speaker, I direct my question to the Deputy Chief Minister. Does he agree that the firm of Wollongong Constructions Pty Limited has been very successful in this Territory from Federal and Territory contracts? Will he in due course provide this house with an outline of the location and value of all contracts awarded to Wollongong Constructions and inform the house particularly when he approved the direct grant to Wollongong Constructions of the site at Mitchell he referred to today?
