Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 4 Hansard (28 March) . . Page.. 938 ..
MS TUCKER: It is just a line. It is a line that has not been supported by strong argument. For that reason, it is not satisfactory. As I said, the committee has attached to the report the terms of the submissions from the community and the Government's response to them, so the basis for the recommendations will be really clear to anyone who takes the trouble to read the report.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR QUINLAN (12.09): Mr Speaker, pursuant to order, I present the following report:
Finance and Public Administration (incorporating the Public Accounts Committee) - Standing Committee - Report No. 5 - Report on Draft 2000-01 Budget for the Chief Minister's Department; Draft 2000-01 Budget for the Department of the Treasury and Infrastructure; Draft 2000-01 Total Territory Financial Position, dated 28 March 2000, including a disclaimer, together with a copy of the extracts of the minutes of proceedings.
I move:
That the report be noted.
Mr Speaker, first of all I seek your guidance on whether it is appropriate to read the disclaimer into Hansard immediately?
MR SPEAKER: No, there is nothing contrary to the standing orders in doing that if you wish.
MR QUINLAN: Well, I am asking for an indication, really, because I thought you might want that said beforehand rather than after what I say.
MR SPEAKER: Right.
MR QUINLAN: This is a disclaimer from Mr Cornwell, a member of the committee, and it reads as follows:
As a member of the Assembly Select Committee which produced the Report of the Review of Governance and as a member of the Government, I supported the 9 December 1999 Assembly motion to refer the draft 2000-01 Budget to relevant general purpose standing committees and further, that the draft total Territory financial position be referred to the Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration (incorporating the Public Accounts Committee) of which I am a member.
