ACT GAMING AND LIQUOR AUTHORITY
Paper and Ministerial Statement

MR COLLAERY (Attorney-General): Pursuant to subsection 93(3) of the Audit Act 1989, I table for the information of members the following paper:

Audit Act - ACT Gaming and Liquor Authority - Report and financial statements including the Auditor-General's report for 1989-90.

I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

MR COLLAERY: This is the last full year annual report of the ACT Gaming and Liquor Authority which will be tabled in the ACT Legislative Assembly. As you are aware, the authority is to be abolished on 1 January 1991. I believe that this is an appropriate time to publicly express our appreciation to all those who have been associated with the authority and contributed to the creditable performance of its functions over the years.

I particularly wish to thank all those who have held positions as members of the authority and who have dedicated their time and energy to ensure that the authority's functions have been successfully conducted. I wish to stress that the Government's decision to restructure the operations of the authority was not born out of any failing of the authority or its staff. Rather, it is designed to place the functions in a more appropriate framework and in particular to facilitate the establishment of an ACTTAB as a Territory owned corporation.
