The report is, therefore, a record of Audit Office activities for the year 1993-94. As required by the Audit Act 1989, it includes a report on efficiency audits carried out by the office during the year. This committee has reported on, or is about to report on, 10 of the reports made by the Auditor-General during 1993 and is currently examining those presented to the Assembly since May 1994. With regard to report No. 5 of 1994, the committee expects that the Audit Office management issues which it has reported upon will be examined, together with the annual reports of all other ACT government agencies, later this year by the committee that the Assembly established this morning. Accordingly, the Public Accounts Committee merely notes the Auditor-General's report No. 5 of 1994.
PUBLIC ACCOUNTS - STANDING COMMITTEE
Report on Inquiry into Petrol Supply Arrangements
MR KAINE (12.06): Madam Speaker, I present report No. 13 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts relating to the review of petrol supply arrangements for the ACT. I also present extracts from the minutes of proceedings. I seek leave to move a motion authorising the publication of the report.
Leave granted.
MR KAINE: I move:
That the Assembly authorises the publication of the report of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts Inquiry into Petrol Supply Arrangements.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
MR KAINE: I move:
That the report be noted.
Madam Speaker, this report is probably one of the most important reports that the committee will table in the remaining life of this Assembly. I have been interested to note that there has been a certain amount of defensiveness on the part of the Minister and, incidentally, of the two Labor members of the committee.
Mr Connolly: I am waiting for the apologies from Mrs Carnell.
MR KAINE: I am about to make some comments on the matter. I have been interested in the fact that the Minister has been so defensive when he has not seen the report - - -
Mr Connolly: I have been reading the reports in the paper. I have just read your comments and Mrs Carnell's comments in the paper.
MR KAINE: No, you have not. I will deal with that.
