York Park - Road Closures
MR LAMONT: I wish to advise that, unlike the previous question from Mrs Carnell, this question was not found in the top drawer of Mr Kaine's old desk that she obviously got the last question out of. Madam Speaker, my question is directed - - -
Mr Kaine: Madam Speaker, I insist that I had no pornographic literature in the top drawer of my old desk.
MR LAMONT: It is good to see that the point of order is about as relevant as the previous question. My question is directed to the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning. Can the Minister explain the need to close Windsor Walk and the slip-road onto Canberra Avenue in the vicinity of York Park?
Mr Kaine: Another anti-royal action.
MR WOOD: There was an advertisement in the paper recently on that matter and I have had a lot of questions about it, so it is appropriate that I fill people in on it. Windsor Walk is on maps, but it is nowhere that you would walk. The slip-road is that short cut that comes in beside St Andrew's. It cuts off, at St Andrew's, from State Circle onto Canberra Avenue and down to National Circuit. With the work at York Park, it is proposed to extend Sydney Avenue, which does not, at this stage, go right through to State Circle. It is proposed to extend Sydney Avenue, which is between Brisbane Avenue and Canberra Avenue, through to State Circle. The boundary for the new DFAT building then will be Sydney Avenue and Brisbane Avenue. With that change, Sydney Avenue will come out right where that slip-road is. The two cannot exist together; so it is proposed to take that slip-road out. Windsor Walk - someone over there made a suggestion about renaming it - is on the map and runs roughly parallel with State Circle and National Circuit and about halfway between them. It is proposed to change that from a road reserve to a park. This is all to do with the work at the DFAT building and finishing those roads that have been on the map for so long.
Government Service - Overtime and Redundancy Payments
MR DE DOMENICO: My question without notice is to the Chief Minister. I refer the Chief Minister to her comment in early May that her departmental head advised that an investigation into allegations of fraud by senior officers in her department would be undertaken and completed in 14 days' time. Given the undertaking, the investigation should now be completed. Is it completed? If it is completed, when will the findings be made public? If the findings will not be made public, why not?
