MR CONNOLLY: It was praise from Mr Duby. I certainly will take up Mr Duby's concerns. As Mr Duby would be aware, having held the office, it is not uncommon for the phone to be ringing fairly constantly with complaints about parking matters. Generally speaking, issues which involve an exercise of discretion tend to be left for Parking Operations, which decides whether or not to waive a ticket. The parking inspectors are subjected to quite a bit of abuse from members of the community. None of us like getting parking tickets and staff often do cop a bit of abuse.
I must say that I am not familiar with the circumstances that Mr Duby raises by way of complaint. If elderly persons are being dropped off by taxi drivers and motors are still running, it does seem a little rich. I will certainly investigate the matter and report back to Mr Duby.
Non-Government School Funding
MR COLLAERY: I ask the Treasurer whether she regards the appropriations made in her budget for non-government schooling to be fair and reasonable.
MS FOLLETT: Yes, of course I do.
Alcohol Abuse
MR STEFANIAK: I refer the Minister for Health and Minister for Sport to his statement last week in relation to the Government's so-called four-point plan to counter alcohol abuse, and specifically to his plan to use Health Promotion Fund money for part of that program, in relation to binge drinking by the young. Is it true, though, Minister, that you are in fact proposing to use $471,000 per annum from that fund for that program, which would be over half of the money available to that fund?
MR BERRY: No.
Government Computing Service
MRS NOLAN: My question to the Chief Minister refers to the ACT Government Service. What controls over consumables currently operate within the ACT Government Computing Service?
MS FOLLETT: I thank Mrs Nolan for that question. It concerns a matter on which I do not have any information with me, but I am happy to take the question on notice and to make sure that Mrs Nolan gets a full reply to it.
