I believe we had a committee report quite some time ago now and, considering the enormous weight that Mr Collaery placed upon the issue of corruption, time after time, ad nauseam, in this house, I would have thought that, now that he is in government, he would have been much quicker to respond than has been the case.
I think there is a definite link between the question of accountability and auditing and the general question of corruption and the allegations of corruption within public sector organisations.

As I say, Mr Speaker, we do not oppose the legislation. It is a housekeeping matter and we are happy to support it.
MR DUBY (Minister for Finance and Urban Services) (6.02): Mr Speaker, the Government welcomes the Opposition's support on this Bill.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.
Bill agreed to.
CULTURAL ACTIVITIES - SELECT COMMITTEE
Interim Report
MR WOOD (6.03): I move:
That:

(2) if the Assembly is not sitting when the select committee has agreed to its interim report, it may submit that interim report to the Speaker or, in the absence of the Speaker, to the Deputy Speaker, who is authorised to give directions for its printing and circulation; and

I seek leave to speak to the motion.
Leave granted.
