Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 6 Hansard (23 May) . . Page.. 1606 ..


MS CARNELL (continuing):

believe, or does not believe, that the operating loss of the ACT that this government inherited from those opposite is not pressing to the point that it would have affected the quality of life for our children if we had not addressed it. They were his words, not ours.

I would hate to think that those opposite were trying to suggest some sort of precedent where we should be ignoring the Auditor-General here. That would be a dreadful scenario. It was the Auditor-General who made the point that the operating loss was unsustainable, that our situation with unfunded superannuation liability was unsustainable and must be addressed, and that if it was not the quality of life in the ACT would be at risk. His words, not mine.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
