MR RAMSAY: I thank Mr Hanson for his question. It is an important matter. There is obviously, as we have talked about in the past, a complexity about the gathering of that particular data. That reporting system is being worked on across the court system and across Policing. There is a specific project that is also working on that.

MS BERRY: I thank Mr Pettersson for the question. The ACT government is committed to carbon emission reduction in our growing city. Every single public school in the ACT—all 88 of them—has rooftop solar panels. This represents a total of 2,356 kilowatts of solar photovoltaic rays.
