CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No: 84

Deputy Chief Minister - Ministerial Suite

Ms Follett - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 13 February 1990:

(1) What was the cost of sweeping Mr Collaerys ministerial suite for electronic surveillance devices following his appointment as a Minister.

(2) By whom was the work performed.

(3) Has any other Minister either requested or received similar sweeping of their office.

(4) Is there any plan for future electronic sweeping of ministerial suites, and if so, what is the expected frequency and cost of the work.

Mr Kaine - The answer to the members question is:

The Commonwealth Government has adopted the policy of not commenting directly on electronic security measures, if any, taken in relation to ministerial work areas.

For obvious security reasons I propose to adopt the same approach.

Should the Leader of the Opposition wish to discuss privately any aspects in relation to security, I would be quite prepared to do so.
