Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (4 December) . . Page.. 4591 ..

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, during question time on 12 November 1997, Ms Reilly asked me a question regarding temporary accommodation allowance for executives of the ACT Public Service. I undertook to provide an answer to Ms Reilly as soon as possible. I have done that in the form of a letter to Ms Reilly on 24 November attaching the relevant information. Mr Speaker, I now seek leave to incorporate my answer in Hansard.

Leave granted.

Document incorporated at Appendix 6.

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, for Mr Corbell's information, I will organise a briefing on Youth500 for Mr Corbell and the names of any employers that do not mind their names being used, I am sure, will be passed on.

MS REILLY: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a personal explanation under standing order 46.

MR SPEAKER: Proceed.

MS REILLY: During an answer to a question, Mrs Carnell made the imputation that I set up an ASO2. I do not agree with that. I did not ring that number. But one of the concerns I have is this: How do they know who has rung that number, and are they checking the records of public servants' telephone calls?

MR SPEAKER: Order! There is no personal explanation in what you were adding then. In fact, it was not a personal explanation at all.

Mr Humphries: Mr Speaker, on a point of order: Mrs Carnell did not say that Ms Reilly had rung; she said a member of her staff had rung.

MR SPEAKER: The point of order is upheld.
