Motion (by Mr Corbell) put:

That Mrs Burke be suspended from the service of the Assembly.

The Assembly voted—

Mrs Burke was therefore suspended at 4.04 pm for three sitting hours in accordance with standing order 204, and she accordingly withdrew from the chamber.

MR STANHOPE: I call the Chief Minister to continue his remarks.

MR STANHOPE: For the information of members, I present a corrigendum to the Chief Minister’s Department annual report 2004-05. Volume 1 of the report provides information on the department’s service purchasing arrangements, community grants and assistance sponsorship.

The amounts for the community grants for 2004-05 associated with the community inclusion fund on pages 176 and 177 were incorrect in the final published report. This corrigendum replaces the respective pages contained in the published report. The chair of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts has been advised of the error and provided with the corrigendum.
