Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1996 Week 14 Hansard (11 December) . . Page.. 4707 ..

MRS CARNELL (continuing):

The Schedule D is for the director of the Budget and Facilities Branch, Department of Education and Training, and is an addition to the original contract which was tabled on 29 August without a Schedule D. This schedule simply preserves certain terms and conditions for transitional staff and mirrors one previously included in some Department of Urban Services contracts.

Finally, I would like to alert members to the issue of privacy of personal information that may be contained in the contracts and performance agreements. I ask members to deal sensitively with the information and respect the privacy of individual executives.

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.24): Mr Speaker, for the information of members, I present the Government's response to Report No. 18 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, which was entitled "Review of Auditor-General's Report No. 2, 1996 - Taxi Plates Auction" and presented to the Assembly on 28 August 1996. I move:

That the Assembly takes note of the paper.

Mr Speaker, as members will recall, earlier this year at my request the Auditor-General investigated and reported on the issue of taxi plate auctions in the ACT and the attendant issue of a code of conduct for members of the Legislative Assembly. This report was referred, as is practice, to the Standing Committee on Public Accounts for consideration. The committee reported on 28 August 1996. I am now in a position to provide the Government's response to that report both to the Public Accounts Committee and to the Assembly. I would like to thank both the Auditor-General and the Standing Committee on Public Accounts for their work on this issue. As there is an Assembly committee that is also looking at the issue of a code of conduct, I am sure that there will be more work done on this issue.

Debate (on motion by Mr Wood) adjourned.

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (3.26): Mr Speaker, for the information of members, I present the Government's response to Report No. 19 of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, which was entitled "Review of the Auditor-General's Report No. 8, 1995 - Financial Audits with Years Ending to 30 June 1995" and presented to the Assembly on 28 August 1996. I move:

That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
