CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY
LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION
Question No 42
Legislative Assembly - Tuesday Night Sittings
MR CORNWELL - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 7 April 1992:
(1) What was the cost in full-time and part-time staff salaries of the Tuesday night sittings in the First Assembly.
(2) How many Tuesday night sittings took place.
(3) What was the average attendance during the First Assembly by members of the public.
MS FOLLETT - The answer to the Members question, is as follows:
(1) The cost of Ministerial staff salaries for Tuesday night sittings in the First Assembly was 14023. This figure represents the overtime entitlement of staff at ASO 6 level and below. Public Servants and staff employed by Ministers above the ASO 6 level have no such entitlement.
Information relating to the cost of overtime for public servants below the ASO 6 level; employed for Tuesday evening sittings, is not available. However, it is likely that the cost would be minimal as support to the Executive in the conduct of business in the Assembly is usually provided by staff at Senior Officer level or above, who are not entitled to overtime.
(2) The First Assembly sat on 38 Tuesday evenings: that is sittings where the Assembly adjourned on a Tuesday after 8pm.
(3) A register of the attendance by members of the public at Assembly sittings is not maintained. Information on the average attendance is therefore not available.
