AUDITOR-GENERAL - REPORT NO. 9 OF 1994
Performance Indicators Reporting
MADAM SPEAKER: Members, I present, for your information, the Auditor-General's report No. 9 of 1994 entitled "Performance Indicators Reporting".
Motion (by Mr Berry), by leave, agreed to:
That the Assembly authorises the publication of the Auditor-General's report No. 9 of 1994.
BUDGET PERFORMANCE AND OUTCOMES FOR 1993-94 -
SELECT COMMITTEE
Report - Government Response
MS FOLLETT (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.35): For the information of members, I present the Government's response to the report by the Select Committee on Budget Performance and Outcomes for 1993-94. I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
I will speak very briefly. I am presenting the Government's formal response to the Budget Performance and Outcomes Committee. In fact, the full import of the response was given by me previously, when I spoke on the committee's report. Members will recall that I clearly stated the Government's position in relation to the recommendations of the Budget Performance and Outcomes Committee during the debate which followed the tabling of that committee's report last week. So, today, I am just tabling the formal response, for the benefit of members.
In doing so, I would like to remind members that the Government generally supports all nine recommendations. This provides evidence of the commendable way in which the committee conducted its business and presented its recommendations. They are recommendations that are reasonable, that are constructive and that are generally achievable. I think that the absence of cheap political rhetoric makes it more likely that the recommendations will be implemented, despite the very dismissive comment provided at the time by the Leader of the Opposition and on which there has been a great deal of other comment.
MS SZUTY (3.36): I would like to thank the Chief Minister for tabling today the Government's formal response to the Budget Performance and Outcomes Committee report for 1993-94. Madam Speaker, one of the reasons for reporting to you by 25 November of this year was to enable the Government's formal response to be tabled in this Assembly before the end of the year. I am pleased that the Chief Minister has done so, and I am pleased to hear her say that, in general, the Government has supported all of the recommendations made by the select committee. I have not had time to study it in detail, but I am thankful for the Government's response.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
