CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Priorities Review Board - Recommendations

QUESTION NO. 209

MS FOLLETT - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 7 August 1990:

(1) Of the 110 recommendations contained in the Priorities Review Board Report, which ones has the Government formally (a) accepted; and (b) rejected.

(2) For each of the recommendations included at (1)(a) and (b) above (a) has the Governments decision been publicly announced, and if so, on what date and by what means; and (b) what were the reasons for accepting or rejecting the recommendation.

(3) For each of the recommendations not included at (1) (a) above (a) why has the Government not yet decided to accept or reject the recommendation; and (b) when will the Government make a decision on the recommendation.

MR KAINE - The answer to the members question is as follows:

I announced on 29 May 1990 the Governments position about the way in which the recommendations of the Priorities Review Board were to be treated. In summary, they are one of several pieces of advice the Government has taken into account in framing decisions about micro-economic reform, and have no greater status than that. While some Government decisions reflect the recommendations of the Priorities Review Board, others reflect the recommendations of other reports or of agencies themselves.
