I want to finish on the point that we are doing that within the Department of the Environment, Land and Planning. There has been a very comprehensive survey of their processes. They have gone out to their clients, the people Mr Stevenson spoke about in this debate, and said, "Where is it wrong? How can we deliver it better?". We will be responding soon to that process. Again, it will be a balance of how we can better respond to what you want while preserving the rights of the community, preserving that consultation, and ensuring that everything is done fairly. That is the balance we will establish, and I believe that we will be able to do that quite successfully.
MADAM SPEAKER: The time for the discussion has expired.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS - STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 4 of 1994
MR KAINE (4.23): Madam Speaker, I present report No. 16 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts entitled "Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 4, 1994 - Gaming Machine Administration and Banking Arrangements". I move:
That the report be noted.
The Auditor-General's report dealt with two different matters. One related to gaming machine administration; the other related to the banking arrangements currently in place for the ACT Government. In connection with the banking arrangements, the Auditor-General found things generally to be in order, as he did, generally speaking, with the administration of gaming machines. However, he did make some recommendations on one or two aspects of gaming machine administration. The Public Accounts Committee followed those matters up. We have made, essentially, two recommendations which we would ask the Government to take up.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
PODIATRISTS BILL 1994
Debate resumed from 13 October 1994, on motion by Mr Connolly:
That this Bill be agreed to in principle.
MRS CARNELL (Leader of the Opposition) (4.24): Madam Speaker, the Opposition does not intend to oppose this Bill; in fact, we warmly welcome it, as it will provide for the control of the practice of podiatry and all matters relating to the profession within the ACT. As such, I will not spend too much of the Assembly's valuable time on going over what has already been said.
