Government investment policy
Public service—superannuation
MR STANHOPE: Yesterday, in question time, I took two questions on notice. The first related to the terms of reference for an inquiry into the territory’s investment portfolio. I have the terms of reference and will table them for the information of members.
The second related to a question on notice from Mr Mulcahy. I regret that I did not have the information available to me yesterday in relation to the Chris21 human resources system and miscalculations that have been detected in relation to the payment of superannuation. I do have an answer, which I will table. I do regret that at this stage it does not advance the level of information available to me or to the Assembly much further than that which I provided in December, which was essentially that at that stage I did not have a very complete picture.

Members’ staff—use of email
MR BARR: Upon reflection on my answer to Mrs Burke’s question, I omitted one piece of information; that is, that I received the email at the same time as all other members for Molonglo, on 6 February, but I did not become aware of the nature of the email and that it had been generated from my office until 26 February. I just wanted to clarify absolutely that the email arrived in my office at the same time as it arrived for all other members for Molonglo and the federal Attorney-General, but it was 26 February when I was advised of the origin of the email.
Offensive language—Speaker’s ruling
Mr Smyth: Mr Speaker, in question time yesterday a number of insults were thrown across the chamber that I believe offended against standing orders 54, 55 and 57, and
