Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 3 Hansard (28 May) . . Page.. 740 ..
MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):
I understand it is the view of members generally that members who wish to be on the steering committee for Assembly business and who are not otherwise represented ought to have membership of that committee. That is the basis upon which I move the motion.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Membership
MR HUMPHRIES (Attorney-General, Minister for Justice and Community Safety and Minister Assisting the Treasurer) (3.50), by leave: I move:
That:
(1) Ms Tucker be discharged from attending the Standing Committee for the Chief Minister's Portfolio and, in her place, Mr Cornwell be appointed as a member of the Committee.
(2) Mr Kaine be discharged from attending the Standing Committee on Education and, in his place, Mr Hird be appointed as a member of the Committee.
(3) Mr Kaine be discharged from attending the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety and, in his place, Mr Hird be appointed a member of the Committee.
(4) Mr Kaine be appointed a member of the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure.
Mr Speaker, this motion is intended to reorganise the membership of standing committees to overcome the present difficulty that three of the standing committees at the present time are without representation by the Government. These are the Chief Minister's Portfolio Committee, the Standing Committee on Education and the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety. Mr Speaker, the first part of the motion proposes that you should sit on that first committee as a Government member. In the case of the Standing Committee on Education, it is proposed that Mr Hird take Mr Kaine's place. In the case of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety, it is proposed that Mr Hird, again, take Mr Kaine's place on that committee. Mr Speaker, it is also proposed in the last part of the motion that Mr Kaine take a seat on the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure, given that we have just increased the size of the committee.
