February, March and April. It undertook a thorough review of all aspects of TAFE in accordance with its terms of reference. I received the report in late April, and last week I met with the committee to discuss their findings. I commend the working party on the energy applied to their task, the thoroughness of their analysis and the constructive intent of their recommendations. There is wide community interest in the performance of the ACT Institute of TAFE, given the important role that TAFE plays in the industrial and social fabric of the ACT.

Accordingly, the Government has decided to make the report public to facilitate such broad consultation.
I have asked the advisory committee of the institute to facilitate such consultation and to report to me on the outcomes by early July. The Government will then reach its decision on the report with the benefit of broad community involvement. I present the following papers:
TAFE services - provision and financial management -
Ministerial statement, 29 May 1990.
Report on the findings, conclusions and recommendations of a working party convened by the Chief Minister, dated April 1990.
I move:

MR BERRY: No, thank you; no gifts from you, Mr Kaine. We will just move the suspension of standing orders because we want to talk about the gutlessness of the Government.
I am reluctant to go over some old ground that was talked about earlier when the Government was demonstrating its unwillingness to be subject to scrutiny on the issue of the performance of its Ministers - and I refer in particular to the behaviour of the Minister for Finance and Urban
