ESTIMATES - SELECT COMMITTEE
Report on the Appropriation Bill 1992-93
MS SZUTY (8.00): I ask for leave to present the Select Committee on Estimates 1992-93 report and to move a motion in relation to the report.
Leave granted.
MS SZUTY: Madam Speaker, I present the Select Committee on Estimates 1992-93 report, together with minutes of proceedings. This report was provided to the Speaker for circulation on Friday, 6 November 1992, pursuant to the resolution of appointment. I move:
That the report be noted.
Madam Speaker, I have tabled the report by the Select Committee on Estimates on the Appropriation Bill 1992-93 for consideration by the ACT Legislative Assembly. In accordance with the terms of the resolution of appointment of the committee, the report was delivered to the Speaker on the afternoon of Friday, 6 November 1992. It is important for me to state this at the outset, in the light of comments I will be making with reference to the additional comments attached to the report by Ms Ellis, Mrs Grassby and Mr Lamont. I will now address these additional comments in the first instance, as I believe that they detract from the quality and scope of the task accomplished by the Estimates Committee this year.
The additional comments cum dissenting reports, as provided by Ms Ellis, Mrs Grassby and Mr Lamont, concern three issues, as I see them - the processes of the committee, the political nature of some of the statements expressed in the report, and purported inaccuracies in the report. These themes are pursued in varying degrees by these members, although I will address each of the additional comments provided in turn.
