Farm Vehicles - Registration
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, Mr Stevenson asked me a question relating to the registration of farm vehicles. It is not out of time yet; but there is a chance that it will be, because it has taken some time to consult with agencies concerned with this issue. I believe that I will be in a position to answer Mr Stevenson's question fully by the end of the current sittings.
Grants or Payments to Trade Unions and Private Sector Organisations
MS FOLLETT: Mr De Domenico asked me a question relating to payments to trade union movements and the private sector. I have written to Mr De Domenico asking whether, in the interests of resources, he could redefine the question that he has asked. I have not yet heard back from Mr De Domenico.
Assembly Building - Soundproofing of Offices
MADAM SPEAKER: Members, in response to Mr Stefaniak's question, may I now give you those details. I point out that the building was very carefully designed to minimise the intrusion of noise. That is why the corridors were placed facing London Circuit. I also point out that I was certainly not considering the specific needs of either myself or the Chief Minister, but of anyone who occupies those corner offices. So, I believe that this ongoing treatment of windows is quite important. The Speaker's office will cost, at the moment, $14,000 to have the double glazing put in, and the remainder of the building, for the sealing program both to prevent leaking and to minimise some of the noise that is intruding, is going to cost $21,040.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO MEMBER
Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:
That leave of absence be given to Mr Cornwell for today, 29 November 1994.
Mr Lamont: Madam Speaker, I understand that Mr Cornwell has been hospitalised over the last couple of days. I would ask that expressions of well wishes from the Government be extended to Mr Cornwell by our Opposition colleagues.
Mrs Carnell: Thank you very much.
