Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 5 Hansard (6 May) . . Page.. 1523 ..


MR BERRY (continuing):

may also say to them that, though you appreciate gifts from the general public, it would be inappropriate for them to be pressing them into your hands each time you passed and that members might find this practice, though welcome in most respects, somewhat inhibiting in terms of the proper celebration of events in this place! Mr Speaker, we look forward to this mighty celebration, but we just urge a little caution about the numbers who might approach this place on the day of it!

Question resolved in the affirmative.

CHIEF MINISTER'S PORTFOLIO - STANDING COMMITTEE

Report on Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 11 of 1998

MR QUINLAN (5.50): Mr Speaker, I present Public Accounts Committee Report No. 18 of the Standing Committee for the Chief Minister's Portfolio, entitled "Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 11, 1998 - Overtime payment to a former Member's staffer", together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings. I move:

That the report be noted.

Very briefly, Mr Speaker, it was a quite unremarkable report and all I can say is that I hope that it did not have its genesis in any sort of personal attack that we have discussed today.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

That the report be noted.

I seek leave to have my speech incorporated in Hansard.
