Annual and financial reports are prepared by agencies in accordance with the Annual Reports (Government Agencies) Act 2004, the Financial Management Act 1996 and the annual report directions. In this regard, the government seeks to ensure that annual and financial reports are continually updated to reflect best practice and full accountability. The standing committees made a combined total of 122 recommendations.
Mr Assistant Speaker, the government has agreed in full or in principle to 88 of those 122 recommendations, has noted 23 recommendations and has not agreed with seven recommendations. For those doing the maths, there are four recommendations not covered there. They were not specifically directed to the ACT government and were not relevant for government response. In conclusion, I commend the government responses to each of these seven standing committee reports to the Assembly.

Leave granted.
MS BERRY: I am pleased to present the annual report on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander education in ACT public schools for the period July 2016 to June 2017. This report reflects the ACT government’s commitment to meet the needs and aspirations of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The report provides a selection of case studies and examples of programs that are making a difference for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across ACT public schools. These examples highlight the progress that has been made in embedding cultural integrity and strengths-based approaches to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in every school and every classroom.
