Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 6 Hansard (23 May) . . Page.. 1741 ..

Proposed new clause 66A

MS TUCKER (6.19): I ask for leave of the Assembly to amend amendment No. 7 and to move it in the terms circulated on the green sheet. This is the amendment dealing with the statutory review.

Leave granted.

MS TUCKER: Thank you. I move:

Page 27, line 15, add the following new clause:

"Review

66A. (1) The Treasurer shall cause a review of the operation of this Act to be carried out not later than 30 June 1999.

(2) The review shall examine -

(a) the effectiveness of this Act and the arrangements made under it in facilitating scrutiny of the financial management of the government of the Territory;

(b) the effectiveness of this Act in facilitating the provision of outputs;

(c) the impact of this Act on the quality of outputs;

(d) any adverse impact that this Act, and the arrangements made under it, have had on the achievement of the objectives of the government of the Territory;

(e) the possibility of incorporating environmental accounts into the financial management framework;

(f) any other matters relating to the financial management of the government of the Territory that the Treasurer determines.".

This amendment obviously is moved because we were not successful earlier in this debate. We are proposing that the possibility of incorporating environmental accounts into the financial management framework be looked at when we are discussing a statutory review. Because this is significant legislation we would like to see it reviewed.
