There is a much more defined pedestrian path throughout that centre. We would need to look at the individual circumstances in those shopping centres. I will, as I have said, take up the matter with my own officers as well as making a formal request to the Minister for police to revisit the issue as far as Dickson shops are concerned.
Ms Follett: I ask that further questions be placed on the notice paper, Madam Speaker.
Farm Vehicles - Registration
MS FOLLETT: Madam Speaker, on 14 September 1994 Mr Moore asked me a question relating to the registration of farm vehicles in the ACT. I subsequently answered Mr Moore's question by letter, but I seek leave now to have that answer incorporated in Hansard.
Leave granted.
Answer incorporated at Appendix 8.
Assembly Members - Conflicts of Interest
MR CONNOLLY: Madam Speaker, on 8 November Mr Berry asked me a question concerning methadone dispensing. The answer is as follows: The Red Hill pharmacy does dispense methadone. Mrs Carnell has been approved to conduct a methadone program treatment centre at the Red Hill pharmacy under section 150 of the Drugs of Dependence Act. The date of approval was 23 August of this year. One client is registered to receive methadone from the pharmacy. The Commonwealth funds a supply of methadone for the pharmacy. I understand that it is free of charge. Charges by pharmacists are limited to no greater than 1.5 times the government charge, plus $1 per takeaway dose, under a condition of approval as a methadone program treatment centre - although I think Mrs Carnell made some comments about her practice. There is no limit to the number of clients to which a pharmacy may serve methadone; however, clients must be referred from the Department of Health. The department informally agreed with participating pharmacies at the commencement of this program in 1993 to limit ACT pharmacies to a maximum of 20 clients.
Harcourt Hill Development
MR WOOD: Madam Speaker, to fill out an earlier answer concerning Harcourt Hill, I have been advised that the ACT Government has not received any consultancy services from Cygnet - that is our joint venture partner - in relation to development at Harcourt Hill, nor paid for any consultancy services from Cygnet. I am advised further that they were required, however, to provide considerable background information as part of the process, because of their expertise and professional capacity, and that was done at their own expense.
