I move:

That the report be noted.

There are six recommendations in this report. They go to two broad themes. The two broad themes are compliance with reporting on the progress of the government’s implementation of recommendations made in Auditor-General’s reports and, the second area, specifically looking at data—data security, IT controls, internal audit committees around data security and privacy controls as well as the use of the one ACT public service framework to ensure that unresolved audit findings relating to environmental controls for information technology be addressed.

I would like to thank members for their participation and their assistance in putting together these two reports. In particular, I thank Dr Cullen, as always, for being a very effective committee secretary.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Justice and Community Safety—Standing Committee

Statement by chair

MR DOSZPOT (Molonglo): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety relating to statutory appointments in accordance with continuing resolution 5A.

In the period 1 July to 31 December 2014 the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety considered a total of nine statutory appointments or reappointments. In eight instances the committee noted the proposed appointments and made no further recommendation. In one instance the committee was not able to meet to consider the appointment within the 30-day statutory period set out under the Legislation Act 2001, subsection 228(3), and the minister made the appointment. In two instances the committee asked for further information in connection with the proposed appointments.

In accordance with continuing resolution 5A, I now table a schedule of statutory appointments considered during this reporting period. I table the following paper:
