(6) The report of the Symposium will be available in the near future.

(7) I have asked my Department to provide Mr De Domenico with a copy when it is distributed to participants.

(8) There is no enterprise bargaining issue directly associated with the public service transition. As I have said in my statements to the Assembly on this issue in December and May, terms and conditions will not be adversely affected by this exercise.

(9) The Separate Service Taskforce is headed by an Assistant Secretary in my Department, Mr Peter Burnett. Mr Burnett has been seconded from his normal position of Assistant Secretary, Management Improvement. The other staff of the Taskforce are two Senior Officer Grade Bs; a Senior Officer Grade C; and an Administrative Service Officers Grade 6 and 3 respectively. In addition, staff at the following levels have been seconded during July to the Taskforce from agencies to help draft Public Sector Management Standards, which in essence will be the ACT equivalent of the Commonwealths Personnel Management Manual: a Senior Officer Grade C from the Department of Health; an Administrative Service Officer Grade 6 from the Corporate Services Bureau; a Teacher Level 2 from the Department of Education and Training; and an acting Administrative Service Officer Grade 6 from ACTION. It is not necessary to name these officers.

(10) I refer Mr De Domenico to my stet to the Assembly on 17 December 1992, which is reproduced in full in Hansard.

(11) The establishment grant of $460,000 was calculated as per Attachment A. Expenditure to 30 June 1993 from the grant is set out at Attachment B. Indirect costs, such as the costs of discussions between Agencies on the separate service have not been costed separately. This is consistent with normal practice in relation to activities involving more than one Agency, such as the preparation of the Budget.
