MR SPEAKER: Chief Minister, there is a point of order. Mr Moore, irrational speeches are made at odd times. I do not see that there is any problem. Please proceed, Chief Minister.
MR KAINE: I will read the question, Mr Speaker. This was a supplementary question and it said:
On the matter of lack of policies in welfare, youth, justice, administration, maintenance of law and order, does the Alliance Government then intend, at some stage or another, to present policies in these areas or are we just going to let Mr Collaery work off his - how he feels at the minute.
That was the question. Now, Mr Speaker, I would like to give a response to that insofar as I am able. The response is as follows, and I will table this later - - -
Mr Moore: I raise a point of order, Mr Speaker. Is the Chief Minister quoting from the draft Hansard?
MR KAINE: Yes.
Mr Moore: We know what the problem is there.
MR KAINE: I am quoting from the question that you asked, as extracted from the Hansard, Mr Moore. In answer, Mr Speaker: the Government is making significant progress in the reform of justice and community services policy, as evidenced by the broad range of new policy proposals announced in the 1990-91 budget and by reforms in the process of being implemented, such as the Callaghan report, the review of ACT adoption legislation, the proposed community advocate, the overhaul of guardianship legislation, the proposed human rights office, anti-discrimination legislation, and so on.
Measures such as the Community Law Reform Committee, the review of juvenile justice and adult corrections, the Youth Minister,s Advisory Council and other bodies are involving the community in the development and implementation of policies in this area. I table the responses.
MR SPEAKER: Chief Minister, are you seeking leave to incorporate those in Hansard?
MR KAINE: I think that would be a good thing to do. Yes, Mr Speaker.
Leave granted.
