ACT LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION ON NOTICE NO. 876

CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

Question No. 876

Tourism Commission - Staff Vacancies

and Recruitment

MS CARNELL - Asked the Chief Minister upon notice on 17 August 1993:

In relation to the Commonwealth Gazette (22 April 1993) in which the ACT Tourism Commission advertised an AS03 position and a number of AS02 positions-

(1) When did these positions become vacant.

(2) Why were the above positions advertised as being vacant when the

employees who had been working in them had been made redundant.

(Notified in the above mentioned Gazette.)

(3) Why did the Tourism Commission pay six experienced staff to take early

retirement and then immediately advertise to fill similar positions in the

same small (less than 40) organisation.

(4) Why did the Tourism Commission deem it not appropriate to re-train staff at

an AS02 and AS03 level to perform new duties at the same level?

MS FOLLETT - The answers to the Members questions are as follows:

(1) Of the three positions advertised one AS02 position became vacant on

2 April 1993 and an AS02 and AS03 position became vacant on

7 April 1993.

(2) Recruitment action in respect of the AS03 position did not proceed and the

position has not been staffed. The two ASO 2 positions were new positions

with duty statements reflecting the restructuring of the ACT Tourism

Commission and in particular the revised functions for the operation of the

Visitor Information Centre. These positions were not nominally filled and

were therefore advertised as being vacant
