Canberra Grammar School
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, I would like to provide an answer to a question without notice asked by Ms Szuty on 24 June. Ms Szuty asked me about a publication, "Canberra: The natural place to do business", and an illustration in that document which featured the Canberra Grammar School.
I would like to provide the following answer to Ms Szuty: The publication "Canberra: The natural place to do business" introduces the ACT to businesses and potential investors and highlights the Territory's many benefits for business and lifestyle. It includes sections on a range of topics, including major industry sectors, infrastructure and transport and communications. The image to which Ms Szuty referred is part of a section in the document highlighting Canberra's excellent primary, secondary, vocational and tertiary education institutions. The images and accompanying text are intended to highlight the range and quality of these educational institutions. The photographs were chosen to represent the high standard of Canberra's educational facilities; they were not chosen to highlight individual institutions.
The publication does not aim to specifically promote Canberra Grammar School, and you would note that no reference is made to the school itself. As the target market for the publication is external to the ACT, it is unlikely that Canberra Grammar School would be specifically recognised by readers. Finally, I note that this publication is in fact a reprint of the first version produced some four years ago. When the publication was reprinted last year, the old transparencies were reused, saving the cost of new photography and maximising my department's existing resources.
Podiatry Services
MR BERRY: Madam Speaker, on a previous sitting day, Ms Szuty asked a question in relation to podiatry services to the people of Weston Creek. Podiatry services to the people of Weston Creek are not being reduced. The current one day per fortnight will continue. The proposed change to podiatry services for the Weston-Woden area is that in addition to the Weston service it is proposed to provide a one day per fortnight service at the Phillip centre.
I think I said when I answered the question last that I was looking into the matter, and this is the turn-up from that. There will be improved access for the residents of the Woden area. Discussions on the proposed arrangements will take place with community groups shortly and, consistent with podiatry services available at other health centres, the podiatry service at Phillip would be provided in a multi-disciplinary setting. Clients would be able to access a range of other health services at the same time, should they have the need.
