Mr Berry: Mr Speaker, I move:
That the document to which the Minister was referring be tabled.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Schools Location Legislation
MR MOORE: My question is directed to Mr Jensen as chair of the planning committee. Mr Jensen, considering the current round of variations to school sites, the task force that Mr Humphries established and spoke about yesterday and the schools location Bill, has the planning committee approached the Government to point out that there is some conflict between the proposed variations going ahead and the work of the committee in dealing with the methodology for dealing with school closures; or has your position as Executive Deputy made such a letter difficult? What action has the committee taken with reference to the schools location Bill?
MR JENSEN: The planning committee will be meeting on Monday at 4 o'clock. These issues that have been raised by Mr Moore will be discussed at that meeting, and I trust that Mr Berry will put in an appearance, for a change, to fully participate in the committee process. However, I suspect that once again he will probably shirk his responsibility as a working member of the Assembly and refuse to attend.
MR MOORE: I ask a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. So far, then, on the schools location Bill you have done absolutely nothing, and that was referred to you late last year by Mr Humphries. Is this a government way of ensuring that that Bill, which I had offered to sponsor through the Assembly, will not, in fact, be considered by this Assembly while this process is going on?
MR JENSEN: As I have already indicated, the matter will be discussed within committee, as Mr Moore knows full well. It is appropriate for those matters to be discussed in committee, and, once again, I would expect that Mr Berry would make his face available to participate in that debate.
Ambient Lead Levels
MRS GRASSBY: Mr Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister for Health, Education and the Arts. Is the question of lead levels in ACT petrol a matter on which you should have consulted Mr Collaery before speaking in public, as Mr Collaery claimed on the Matt Abraham show this morning?
