Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 9 Hansard (7 September) . . Page.. 2999 ..
Questions four and five were:
... could you explain in your answer what role your department played in the search for a new CEO? Did the department, for instance, work on the selection criteria, job profile, ad copy and selection panel questions?
The answer is that the department worked on the selection criteria and job profile.
Question six:
Would you be prepared to table the brief to Morgan and Banks ...
The proposal developed by Morgan and Banks at the request of the chief executive, Chief Minister's Department, can be provided to the Assembly but not today, because I do not yet have the agreement of Morgan and Banks. We will seek that.
Question seven:
... are you confident that the company had sufficient work to do to justify its consultancy fee in relation to this appointment?
Yes.
MR SPEAKER: I observe that seven-part questions will lead to that sort of answer. It is quite impossible for ministers to be expected to answer seven-part questions without notice. We have a notice paper. I suggest that you use it sometimes.
MR SMYTH: Mr Hargreaves asked about the meetings to look at the issue of needlestick injuries. I am informed that the third group is meeting now on level eight at Macarthur House, and Revolve is represented at that meeting.
MR SMYTH: Mr Osborne asked about the bus arrangements for the Olympics. ACTION has a contract with the Olympics to provide the bus service. The contract is offset by the fares collected, so the Olympics will pay for the remainder of that service.
MR BERRY: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to make a personal explanation pursuant to standing order 46.
MR SPEAKER: Proceed.
MR BERRY: During question time the Chief Minister drew attention to unemployment rates in the ACT, which happily are continuing below the national figures.
