The Bill also makes provision for the case where property has been partly appropriated towards satisfaction of the legacy. In that case, the interest is to be calculated on that part of the legacy which has not been so appropriated. There are no financial considerations for government in the proposed amendment, and I now present the explanatory memorandum for the Bill.
Debate (on motion by Mr Humphries) adjourned.
Sitting suspended from 12.22 to 2.30 pm
QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE
Government Service - Staff Reductions
MR KAINE: My question is to the Chief Minister and Treasurer. The Chief Minister and Treasurer has now had 24 hours to think about it and I would like her to tell me whether she still believes that the 520 jobs to be lost in the ACT over the next 12 months are nothing more than a public servant's mistranslation of government policy.
MS FOLLETT: I seek your guidance, Mr Acting Speaker. I believe that that question was asked and answered yesterday.
MR KAINE: I would like an answer to it now. I ask a supplementary question, Mr Acting Speaker. If the 520 jobs, specifically identified in paper No. 5 of the budget, is not the Government's intention and not the Government's policy, where in the budget papers is the Government's alleged policy of a 250 reduction stated? I cannot find it anywhere in these budget papers.
MS FOLLETT: Well, Mr Acting Speaker, I have indeed answered the question. I answered it in full yesterday. I really do not think it is appropriate for Mr Kaine to ask the same question two days running.
MR ACTING SPEAKER: I think you answered the question in relation to numbers, but I think his supplementary was, "Where is it in the budget papers?". Perhaps you could just address yourself to that.
MS FOLLETT: I would have thought it would have to be supplementary to the question in the first place; but, if Mr Kaine wants me to find the pages for him, I will do that and let him know.
