I frankly find that quite hard to imagine because the shopfront is expected to generate up to 2,000 clients a day through that area, who, of course, will naturally wish to use the services of various retail outlets near the shopfront. The aim of moving the shopfront to East Row is to provide an even more convenient location where members of the public can transact as broad a range of business as possible with government agencies.

Will he provide the Assembly with the Government's position with respect to the wage increase case being argued by the ACT Teachers Federation?
