Members' Staff
MR STEVENSON: My question is addressed to the Chief Minister. What arrangements has she made or will she make once the Legislative Assembly (Members' Staff) Act is gazetted for the employment of the two consultants, Martin Attridge from her office and Robyn Henderson from that of the Deputy Chief Minister?
MS FOLLETT: Mr Speaker, I think in general terms it is probably not appropriate to discuss the particulars of staffing arrangements when those staff members have been named, but I could advise the Assembly that in both of those cases arrangements will be made. One of them, I think, would be a temporary transfer from another government department. In both cases they will be arrangements that are suited to the particular circumstances of Mr Attridge and Ms Henderson, and they will be made within the legislative provisions that apply for staffing.
Sports Facilities
MR STEFANIAK: My question is directed to the Minister for Industry, Employment and Education in his capacity as Minister for sport. I seem to recall some discussion and proposals about three months ago to upgrade the athletic facilities at Phillip, but these appear to have gone onto the back burner. My question is: does the Government propose to upgrade those athletic facilities at Phillip, specifically in relation to providing an all-weather track with lighting?
MR WHALAN: I will have to take the question on notice because I would rather ensure that I do have quite specific details for Mr Stefaniak.
Traffic Lights
MR DUBY: My question is directed to the Minister for Housing and Urban Services in her capacity as Minister for kerbs and gutters. I have had representations from some constituents concerning the intersection of Jerrabomberra Avenue and Goyder Street, Narrabundah. I believe this is a very busy intersection which has quite a lot of traffic through it, and there have been a lot of near misses and accidents at it. I want to know whether there have been any inquiries made into providing traffic lights at that intersection.
MRS GRASSBY: Thank you, Mr Duby. I was with Mr Duby last night when this came up. May I say now that this man does not have a vote in Canberra.
