CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION.

Question No 240

Rural Workers Accommodation Legislation

MRS CARNELL - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 11 August 1992:

(1) Are persons currently appointed as inspectors under the

provisions of the Rural Workers Accommodation Act 1938.

(2) What does this cost the Government.

(3) Are inspectors needed.

(4) Is it necessary that the Rural Workers Accommodation Act 1938 remain on the statute books, or could other laws presently in force satisfy needs in this respect.

MS FOLLETT - The answer to the members question is as follows:

(1) Yes. One person is currently appointed as an inspector under the provisions of the Rural Workers Accommodation Act 1938 Act). The appointment was made on 17 April 1968.

(2) There is no current cost to the Government. I am advised

that the last inspection under the Act was at the Yarralumla

woodshed during the 19601s.

(3) There appears to be no need for inspectors.

(4) As regards whether the Act needs to remain on the statute

books, this Act among others has been examined in a forthcoming

report about laws which impact on ACT business, under the ACT

Legislation Review Program. The Government will determine its

view in the light of that report.
