MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, I find it extraordinary that someone on the Opposition side should complain about noise. They are the ones who make all the noise in this Assembly. I have not yet lined up in precise detail the Heritage Council's submissions. There are eight or nine buildings over there of varying degrees of historical importance. Obviously, the significant component in this is the proposal of the Heritage Council. It is one that I must take with the greatest seriousness. I will be examining it and giving it the consideration I must in the near future.
ACTTAB - Contract with VITAB Ltd
MR DE DOMENICO: Madam Speaker, my question without notice is to the Deputy Chief Minister in his capacity as Minister for Sport.
Mr Berry: This will be about VITAB.
MR DE DOMENICO: It is about VITAB, Mr Minister. You informed the Assembly last week that the firm Price Waterhouse had provided you with advice in relation to VITAB. Which branch of Price Waterhouse provided you with that advice?
MR BERRY: I do not know what their address is either. I shall find out.
MR DE DOMENICO: I have a supplementary question, Madam Speaker. Minister, is it not true that the Vanuatu branch of Price Waterhouse provided you with that information? If it is true, Minister, will you provide the Opposition and the Assembly with a copy of that advice, and also a copy of the minute, or piece of paper, that asked for that advice?
MR BERRY: I shall find out.
Australian Building Codes Board
MR LAMONT: Madam Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning. I understand that this morning you signed the governmental agreement establishing the Australian Building Codes Board on behalf of the ACT. Could you explain the significance of this agreement for the Territory?
Mr Kaine: Who is on it?
MR WOOD: Who is on it? You would be pleased to know, as I am sure the Assembly will, that the chair of that board is Mr Jim Service of the ACT, the national vice-president of BOMA. He has played a very significant role in establishing the board and was present this morning at the signing. That signing was carried out surrounding the activity of the ministerial meeting, which Mr Connolly and I attended on and off over two days, of Planning Ministers, Local Government Ministers, Heritage, Construction and Housing Ministers. This was part of the COAG direction to cut down the number of ministerial meetings.
