Mr Kaine: I am quite happy to table a copy, Madam Speaker.
MADAM SPEAKER: You may move a motion that that be tabled, Mr Humphries.
Mr Humphries: I do so move, Madam Speaker.
Mr Moore: And incorporated in Hansard?
Mr Humphries: It is a bit long. I move:
That the "Executive Summary" be incorporated in Hansard.
MADAM SPEAKER: The motion is: That the document, "Commonwealth-State financial arrangements - A position paper by Premiers and Chief Ministers, May 1992", be tabled and that the "Executive Summary" be incorporated in Hansard.
Motion agreed to.
Document incorporated at Appendix 2.
Milk Authority
MR LAMONT: My question is to the Leader of the Opposition as chair of the Public Accounts Committee. The ACIL report to you, which was tabled in this house yesterday, makes the following comment:
ACT Milk. Another rort.
It then goes on:
I tried to interest Tony de Dominico in this during the election campaign but he didn't take up the offer.
Do you have the same lack of interest in this matter as Mr De Domenico appears to have? Is the ACIL report accurate?
MR KAINE: Madam Speaker, I do not believe that I have to answer this question - I will, but I would seek a ruling from you as to whether I should - because it is based on a wrong premise. There is no report from ACIL to me. I will make it quite clear. A personal document that was prepared by a person was given to me after discussions on a number of issues at a private luncheon at which only two people were present. Somebody tabled in this house yesterday a document that was clearly a stolen copy of a personal paper that was given to me by the author on the basis of personal discussions.
Mr Lamont: I take a point of order, Madam Speaker. The requirement in the answering of a question, one would hope, is that it is relevant. I have asked a specific question of the Leader of the Opposition as chair of the Public Accounts Committee and would ask him to answer it.
