trialled and also offers information and education on a broad spectrum of occupational health and safety issues.
The centre's primary mission will continue to be to people with disabilities by providing advice, support and equipment. By linking clients with other community support services, the centre helps people remain at home and in their local community instead of requiring hospital, nursing home or other supported accommodation. I want to commend the centre for its work on behalf of all Territorians in this regard.
Playhouse Theatre
MRS GRASSBY: I would also like to ask a question of Mr Humphries. As he says he is working terribly hard, I would not want him to miss out on this one. It is about The Playhouse. Is Dr Kinloch right when he says that no decision should have been taken about denying access to The Playhouse after 31 August? Who was in the wrong, as Dr Kinloch claimed - you or the administrators?
MR HUMPHRIES: Mrs Grassby is making the assumption that I heard the full interview to which she refers. I do not know what Dr Kinloch said about The Playhouse.
Mrs Grassby: Well, he is your Executive Deputy; you should.
MR HUMPHRIES: Perhaps Mrs Grassby can sit there all day and listen to the radio. I have rather more important things to do. The fact is that the issue of use of that building and that site falls under the Chief Minister's portfolio as a planning issue. I am not aware of any issues that impact on the arts portfolio in that regard, and I suggest if she wants to find the answer to that question she ought to ask the Chief Minister.
Downer Primary School
MS FOLLETT: My question is to the Chief Minister. Given that the Downer Primary School is currently occupied, and fully occupied, does the Chief Minister agree with statements by the chairman of the independent committee of inquiry into the assets and public debt of the ACT that the site "is not devoted to any profitable use"?
MR KAINE: Mr Speaker, I am totally unaware of the chairman of the group to which the Leader of the Opposition refers having made any such statement.
Ms Follett: It is in his speech.
