Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2003 Week 4 Hansard (3 April) . . Page.. 1517 ..
(3) Is the time for release listed above the original release date or is it a rescheduled date;
(4) If the release of the State of the Territory Report has been delayed, why has it been delayed.
Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member's question is as follows:
1. As I have stated previously, a report with a sustainability focus will be produced this year.
2, 3 & 4 The ACT community and the Sustainability Expert Reference Group have signalled their enthusiasm to be involved in the development of sustainability reporting indicators. The involvement of the community and the Sustainability Expert Reference Group in this process will lead to better reporting outcomes, however this requires that an extended period be given to indicator development. Accordingly, I expect that the report will now be completed by the end of this year.

(3) Has the Government undertaken any work that reveals how many of the following public servants are considering retiring in the next five years:
a. teachers;
