MR KAINE (continuing):

services more efficiently under a range of circumstances. In undertaking the review, Mr Graham will be considering the interests of key stakeholders.

SOCIAL POLICY - STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on School Without Walls - Government Response -
Ministerial Statement

MR STEFANIAK (Minister for Education and Training) (4.11): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to delay presentation of the Government's response to the inquiry of the Assembly Standing Committee on Social Policy into the implications of the proposed restructure of the School Without Walls for the alternative education needs of students in the ACT. Basically, the reason I am doing that, Mr Speaker, is that I note, in accordance with standing orders, that the Government's response is due on 10 March.

Leave granted.

MR STEFANIAK: As members are aware, there are legal proceedings currently before the courts. Those proceedings are still in progress. Until those matters are determined on the matter of SWOW's relocation, I do not think it would be at all appropriate - it will be impossible, really - for the Government to properly address matters in the report and bring an adequate response to the Assembly. What I am proposing, Mr Speaker, is a delay in presentation of the response and for the response to be brought down within six weeks of the finalisation of the legal proceedings before the courts. I would hope that those proceedings might be finalised within the next couple of months.

MR HIRD: I present the report of the Standing Committee on Scrutiny of Bills and Subordinate Legislation entitled "Fourth Commonwealth Conference on Delegated Legislation". I move:

That the report be noted.
