Mr Humphries: That was not my question, Terry.
MR CONNOLLY: You said, "When will construction start?", and I am telling you. If you sat there quietly and listened, again, you would be better informed, if not wiser. We have reached agreement with all but about three of those contractors with the relevant union. I am advised - - -
Mr Kaine: I take a point of order, Madam Speaker. First of all, this Minister was not asked a question. He seems to be making a statement that has nothing to do with the question Mr Humphries asked. When are you going to pull him up?
Mr Humphries: I did not ask anything about the construction of the Street Theatre.
MADAM SPEAKER: The Minister is doing you a favour by answering the question. Continue, Mr Connolly.
MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, as the Liberals who asked about what is happening at the Childers Street site are not interested in hearing, I will sit down. I will write to Independent members and let them know what is happening because I know that they are interested in the arts community and want to see some progress rather than playing silly politics.
ACTTAB - Contract with VITAB Ltd
MR KAINE: Perhaps Mr Berry will answer this question and will not toss it to Mr Connolly to answer another question. Madam Speaker, my question is to - - -
Mr Berry: If you ask me a question on public works, I will.
Mr Connolly: If you ask me a question on health, I will pass it to Wayne.
Mr Wood: We would have thought Opposition members knew by this time where to direct a question. They do not.
MR KAINE: When feeding time at the zoo is over, Madam Speaker, perhaps I will get a chance to ask my question.
MADAM SPEAKER: Could we have a spot of order!
Mr Wood: No, I will feed you some more.
MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Wood, let Mr Kaine ask his question.
MR KAINE: My question is to the Deputy Chief Minister in his capacity as Minister for Sport. In an earlier answer in connection with VITAB, Mr Berry said that the ACT has the money in the bag. My question has to do with when some of the money has to be taken out of the bag. In the advice that he tabled yesterday it says that any exposure from ACTTAB to VITAB as a result of their deal rests totally with ACTTAB and is not the responsibility of the ACT Government.
