Mr Humphries: Yes, sure.
MR BERRY: Well, about Ms Austin.
Mr Humphries: You would have done the same thing when you were in opposition, wouldn't you?
MR BERRY: No, no. We will get the whole lot to you. I will tell you what else I will do. I have a little book here that I purposely brought down so that you will be better informed. It is headed "SES Procedures for Senior Executive Service Staffing and Establishment".
Mr Kaine: We have a copy of that.
MR BERRY: It does not sound as though you have. I will make sure that this is handed over to Mrs Carnell so that she can study it properly. If she has a range or a great raft of questions that she wants to ask about Ms Austin, let us put them on the table and I will get them all answered at once. One thing I am not going to do is dedicate all of the bureaucracy in Health to answering questions about Ms Austin, as they come.
Mrs Carnell: I will table the rest of the questions. I seek leave to comply with Mr Berry's request.
Leave granted.
Open Space
MS SZUTY: Madam Speaker, my question without notice is for the Minister for the Environment, Land and Planning, Mr Wood. I did give your office notification that I would be asking this question today. Members will recall that I asked a question without notice on 13 October 1992, last week, of the Minister about the ratio of open space per 1,000 head of population. The Minister indicated in his response that the ratio of 2.4 hectares per 1,000 relates to populated areas outside of town centres and four hectares per 1,000 relates to town centres. On reading "Urban Open Space Guidelines", published by the NCDC in January 1981, it states on page 2 that the standard provides for four hectares of municipal recreation space per 1,000 population. My question to the Minister is: When was the standard changed and what was the rationale behind the decision?
MR WOOD: I understand that the standard has not changed, but I am looking at the figures she has provided me with and I will come back with a further definitive answer.
Ms Follett: I would ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper, Madam Speaker.
