APPENDIX 3:

(Incorporated in Hansard on 17 December 1991 at page 6188)

CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE

19 NOVEMBER 1991

MR STEFANIAK: CAN THE MINISTER EXPLAIN WHY A BUS LOAD OF TOURISTS COMING TO CANBERRA CANNOT BUY A DRINK OR SOUVENIRS AT THE JOLIMONT CENTRE ON THE WEEKEND DUE TO THE CAFETERIA BEING CLOSED.

HOW MANY JOBS PREVIOUSLY EXISTED TO MAN THAT CAFETERIA HAVE NOW BEEN AXED DUE TO THE ALP. GOVERNMENTS FUNDING CUTS TO TOURISM INDUSTRY?

MY ANSWER IS:

THE BUSINESSES IN THE JOLIMONT CENTRE ARE PRIVATELY OWNED AND OPERATED. THEY ARE CONDUCTED ACCORDING TO THE COMMERCIAL JUDGEMENTS OF THEIR OWNERS. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT SUCH BUSINESS PEOPLE WILL OPERATE WHEN IT IS UNPROFITABLE TO DO S0.

I AM INFORMED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE EMPLOYMENT PATTERNS IN EITHER OF THE SNACK BARS OPERATING IN THE JOLIMONT CENTRE. THERE IS NO CONNECTION BETWEEN THE A.C.T. GOVERNMENTS TOURISM APPROPRIATION AND THE STAFFING LEVELS IN THE SNACK

BARS.
