The source of these figures is the AFP PROMIS database as at 3 October 2005.

(2) As outlined above in Question 1.

(3) The offences and penalties for stealing number plates from motor vehicles in the ACT is legislated under the ACT Criminal Code 2002 and the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Act 1999.

(4) It is too resource intensive to obtain this information from the current ACT Policing indices as these specific entries would have to be individually hand sorted due to them not being a searchable entity on the PROMIS database.

(5) ACT Policing keeps a record of every number plate stolen and this is recorded within the PROMIS database. These records are kept as an active alert until the plates are recovered but still remain on the database as a record for future reference. If the plates are not recovered then the alert remains in place until such time as they are recovered.

(6) If a person has reported the number plates stolen to ACT Policing they would not be prosecuted for criminal acts or fined for traffic offences committed under the stolen number plates. This does not apply if they are implicated in an offence related to the stolen plates.

Public service—executive contracts
(Question No 671)

Mr Smyth asked the Chief Minister, upon notice, on 22 September 2005:

(1) Further to your response to a question without notice, taken on notice, in the Legislative Assembly on the 17 August 2005 in regards to the employment of Executives under the Public Sector Management Act, what is the number of cases where Executives have exceeded the nine-month period by one day;

(2) Who were the Executives whose contracts exceeded the nine-month period by one day;

(3) When and for what positions did the merit selection processes for short-term Executive contracts, alluded to in the response, take place.

Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) There were three cases where the short-term contracts for Executives exceeded the nine- month period by one day.

(2) Ademola Bojuwoye (tabled 22 June 2004); Loretta Zamprogno (tabled 3 May 2005); and Andrew Taylor (tabled 21 June 2005).

(3) There is no comprehensive information available from agencies on the number of times a merit process has been undertaken for short-term Executive contracts.
