Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 10 Hansard (26 November) . . Page.. 3167 ..

CONFIDENTIAL

Supplementary Question (from Mr Kaine)

A supplementary question, Mr Speaker. I can assure the Chief Minister that the Treasurer's Advance was not used eight months ago. I can inform her, if she is uniformed, as to what the process was. But I would like the Chief Minister's assurance that the same arrangements can be set in place today, to accommodate this new change in the determination, as applied eight months ago.

The Chief Minister's response is:

. The increase in MLA staff salary allocations was able to be accommodated in the funding available to the Territorial account in 1997-98. Subsequently, there was no call on the Treasurer's Advance for this purpose in 1997-98.

. The increase in salary allocations allowed in 1997-98 was incorporated into the Assembly's base funding for subsequent years, as part of the 1998-99 Budget.
