and a letter with the same provisions is issued to all groups who are project managers.
Ms Follett: Can you think of one other group?
MR DUBY: Off the top of my head, no. But I know for a fact that there are a number of other groups which work on a project management basis for the ACT Government. I shall be only too pleased to table or provide to the members opposite the details of those project management groups which have worked on that basis for the Government.
Mr Berry: We would prefer it to be tabled.
MR DUBY: Okay, take it from there. You asked how many there were. I am sorry, I did not quite hear the last bit of the question.
Mr Connolly: How many and will they be tabled?
MR DUBY: Will they be tabled? Yes, they will be. I shall provide that information when it is available.
ACT Driving Licences
MR STEVENSON: My question is to Craig Duby. Why does someone who obtains a driving licence in the ACT have to do so for a period of five years, and pay accordingly, when I think we well understand that people come and go fairly quickly in the ACT? One gentleman was concerned that he was going to be here only a year; nonetheless he still had to pay for five years.
Mr Moore: It is a good revenue measure.
MR DUBY: I thank Mr Stevenson for the question. I was almost going to say Mr Moore took the words out of my mouth, but such is not the case. Driving licences are issued for a period of five years for the simple reason that, frankly, most people find that far more convenient. In the past we have had the opportunities for people to obtain licences on a one-, two-, or three-year basis. For various reasons it is found to be more administratively efficient, and certainly it is a cost saving to the Government in the long term, to provide licences on a five-year basis. I find it remarkable that you mentioned the gentleman was going to be here in the ACT for a short period. Did you say one year?
Mr Stevenson: One year. It is becoming more common with self-government.
Mr Kaine: Here today, gone tomorrow, Dennis?
Mr Stevenson: Yes, here today, gone tonight.
