Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 4 Hansard (8 May) . . Page.. 1177 ..

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister): Mr Speaker, for the information of members, I present, pursuant to subsection 47(3) of the Financial Management Act 1996, an approval for guarantee of payment by Canberra Cosmos (Soccer Canberra Pty Ltd) of $200,000. The guarantee is effective only until 31 October 1998 and represents a very strong commitment by the Government to supporting the Cosmos team in the national soccer competition.

MRS CARNELL (Chief Minister): I also present, pursuant to sections 31A and 79 of the Public Sector Management Act 1994, copies of contracts with Kenneth Archer, Terence Golding, Kenneth Whitcombe, Michael Peedom, David Hunt, Philip Walker, Philip Mitchell, John Flutter (a termination), Bruce Dockrill (a termination), and Garrick Calnan (an extension of a temporary contract). I seek leave to make a short statement about these contracts.

Leave granted.

MRS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, I present another set of executive contracts. The contracts are tabled in accordance with sections 31A and 79 of the Public Sector Management Act, which require the tabling of all executive contracts. You will recall that I previously tabled contracts on 10 April 1997.

Today I present seven contracts and three Schedule D variations. The contracts relate to long-term executive officers and include three from the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions and four from the Attorney-General's Department. One of the Schedule D variations extends the temporary contract arrangements for the Director, Office of Planning and Land Management Statutory Decision Maker. The remaining two Schedule D variations terminate the contract arrangements for the Executive Director, ACTION, and the Executive Director, Works and Commercial Services. Both contracts were terminated due to changes in the operational requirements of the Department of Urban Services.

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