Questions relating to an individuals taxation affairs are confidential and I am not prepared to canvass them publicly. I am advised that the companies have not accrued liabilities in respect of general rates, water rates or sewerage rates.
Mr Humphries asked did the employees of those companies not receive accumulated long service and recreation leave entitlements as a result of the companies collapse. As I have explained 1.4r Wright was not associated with Canberra Printing and Publishing when it went into liquidation. Regarding the employees of Canberra Mail and Print, that is a matter for the Liquidator and you will have to ask him as he has the only legal powers to handle it.
Mr Humphries also asked whether I was aware that the companies referred to had experienced difficulties when I appointed Mr Wright to the Chair of the ACT Tourism Commission Advisory Board. I was aware that these companies had experienced difficulties.
The Government believes that Mr Wnghts overall record as a businessman is a good one and that his contribution to the Tourism Advisory Board will be to the benefit of the ACT community.
