MR BARR: I may have signed that answer at lunchtime, so it will be with Mr Smyth later today.

Question No 1095

MR SMYTH: I wait with bated breath. I have a second one. It is to the Treasurer. It is question 1095, re regular reporting to the Treasurer. It expired on 3 June. I was wondering whether the Treasurer had an explanation as to why that question has not been answered within the time frame.

MR STANHOPE: Similarly, Mr Smyth, I believe I signed that response yesterday, but I would have to crosscheck the number. I do not have an explanation, other than pressure of work—it was somewhere within the system—perhaps to do with the production of the budget. But I apologise for any delay or inconvenience that may have been caused and will pursue the matter. I believe I signed it yesterday.

MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services and Minister for Planning) (3.28): I ask for leave to move a motion to authorise publication of Auditor-General’s report No 3 of 2006.

Leave granted.

MR CORBELL: I move:

That the Assembly authorises the publication of the Auditor-General’s report No 3/2006.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Human Rights Act

Statement by minister

MR CORBELL (Molonglo—Attorney-General, Minister for Police and Emergency Services and Minister for Planning): I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

MR CORBELL: I thank members. The Human Rights Act has nearly reached its second anniversary. Over the past two years, it has had a significant impact on the development of law in the territory and in the progress towards the passage of bills of rights in other jurisdictions.
