MR CONNOLLY: We have not conducted seminars in the past; but during Business Week we are conducting a series of seminars across Canberra directed generally to the community but particularly to the small business community, to advise them of their rights and responsibilities under ACT consumer laws. The total cost of those seminars has been: Advertising in the Canberra Times, the Chronicle and the Valley View, at an approximate cost of $400, and venue hire for two of the seminars, at $113, and no cost for the remaining two seminars.
So, for some $500 we will be conducting a series of seminars across Canberra, putting the small business community in touch with the Consumer Affairs Bureau and advising them of, as I say, both their rights and their responsibilities under consumer laws. It has been quite well received by the business community. We are not aware yet of the full attendance at seminars, but we expect perhaps 40 participants at a maximum at each seminar. Participants at the seminar will be asked to complete an evaluation form so that we can decide whether this is a sensible process for the future.
Ms Follett: Madam Speaker, I would ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Tilt Train Proposal
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, on 14 October Mr De Domenico asked me a question concerning the tilt train proposal. I have an answer for him. I do not think it adds a great deal to the answer that I gave in the Assembly, so I would seek to have it incorporated in the Hansard.
Leave granted.

Secondary Colleges - Future Directions
MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, I would like to table an answer to a question from Mr Cornwell that I took on notice on 13 August. It concerns the paper on the future directions of secondary colleges.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Wood, do you want that incorporated in Hansard?
MR WOOD: Yes, I would ask that it be incorporated, Madam Speaker.
Leave granted.
