environment to accommodate disabilities such as hearing impairment and increase the individual sense of job satisfaction and productivity; and developing a network of people with disabilities to provide advice to the EEO committee in developing future, and streamlining existing, policies and procedures relating to people with disabilities such as the hearing impaired.
Madam Speaker, the ACT Government, through its direct provision of a range of services, is already playing a key role in deafness awareness issues. Through its linkages with Australian Hearing Services, a major provider of services to adults, and its cooperation with the non-government services, community groups and the private sector, the Government will continue to maintain its commitment to the hearing impaired. I present the following paper:
Deafness Awareness Week - Ministerial statement, 19 August 1992.
I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS
MR WESTENDE: I seek leave to make a personal explanation, Madam Speaker.
Leave granted.
MR WESTENDE: Madam Speaker, last week some matters were raised in the to and fro of debate. In order to clear the air and to put the record straight, I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard the letters pertaining to some of the statements made. I am sure that anyone interested in the debate will find this additional information helpful. I seek the indulgence of this house to table these letters in order that they may be incorporated in Hansard.
MADAM SPEAKER: Is leave granted?
Mr Lamont: Madam Speaker, I presume that it would be appropriate for the Government to have a look at those before they are tabled.
MADAM SPEAKER: I will get advice on that.
Yes, that is something that you are able to do, Mr Lamont. Any member of the Government may view the papers. Mr Westende will seek leave again later to table those papers.
MR HUMPHRIES: Madam Speaker, I seek leave under standing order 46 to make a personal explanation.
MADAM SPEAKER: Yes, Mr Humphries.
MR HUMPHRIES: Madam Speaker, in the debate this morning about Canberra bashing Ms Ellis made a comment about comments of mine that appeared in the Valley View.
