Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 12 Hansard (12 November) . . Page.. 4023 ..
Ms McRae: Yes, because you are just distorting. Tell us about the ABS statistics; tell us about the 8.4.
MRS CARNELL: I just did - 6,100 new jobs. Ms McRae is the person who said in this assembly:
We have this fairytale notion that somehow the Opposition is here to create ideas, to do things for the good of the Territory.
She is actually showing that yet again. Obviously, those opposite are not here to do things for the good of the Territory because they are not interested in jobs or business growth. I will requote Ms McRae's words:
We have this fairytale notion that somehow the Opposition is here to create ideas, to do things for the good of the Territory.
It is a fairytale notion! Those are Ms McRae's own words. Every day that Opposition shows that that is the way they operate.
MS REILLY: My question is to the Chief Minister and relates to the temporary accommodation allowance. Chief Minister, in an answer to the Estimates Committee you advised that 19 executive officers were in receipt of a temporary accommodation allowance. You supplied a list of 17 of them. How many are still in receipt of a temporary accommodation allowance? Did any officers from ACTEW or Totalcare receive this allowance in 1995-96 and/or 1996-97 and do any of these officers currently receive this allowance?
MRS CARNELL: I will take it on notice, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Thank you. I would expect you would have to, actually.
Ms Reilly: Can we have an indication of when we will get that, Mr Speaker.
MR SPEAKER: Is that your supplementary question?
Ms Reilly: No.
MR SPEAKER: I am sorry, but I will accept it as such.
Mrs Carnell: Either it is your supplementary question or it is not.
Ms McRae: You took it on notice. It is a point of clarification. Do not be pedantic.
