MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (5.36), by leave: I move together amendments Nos 23 and 24, which read:
23. Page 33, line 34, paragraph (1)(a), omit "unanimously".
24. Page 34, lines 4 to 6, paragraph (1)(b), omit all words after "Water Authority", substitute "or the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, being an appointment in respect of which the Commissioner has been consulted in accordance with section 75 - by the Authority or the Director of Public Prosecutions respectively".
The first amendment is to remove from clause 68 the reference to a unanimous decision of an executive staffing committee. This amendment is necessary for consistency with amendments to clause 74 on the executive staffing committee. The second amendment further amends clause 68 to remove references to the Legal Aid Commission and to put in the Director of Public Prosecutions, as a result of our previous decisions.
Amendments agreed to.
Clause, as amended, agreed to.
Debate interrupted.
PERSONAL EXPLANATION
MR CONNOLLY (Attorney-General and Minister for Health): Madam Speaker, I seek leave under standing order 46 to make a brief statement.
MADAM SPEAKER: Please proceed.
MR CONNOLLY: I may have inadvertently misled the Assembly during question time last week when I sourced to the Motor Trades Association statements in a 1992 Canberra Times article that oil companies were to close 12 service stations. In fact the correct sourcing would have been Shell Australia. I had the substance clear in my mind, but the source was confused; and at the earliest possible opportunity I have sought to correct the record.
