Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (2 December) . . Page.. 4366 ..

MRS CARNELL: I move:

Page 5, line 10, insert the following new clause:

"Transitional and saving - application of certain appropriated monies

14. (1) Where -

(a) an amount was appropriated by an Act for services of the government for the financial year that ended on 30 June 1996 or 30 June 1997; and

(b) the amount is held in a departmental banking account;

the amount may be applied for the purpose for which it was appropriated.

(2) An amount that was, before the commencement of this section -

(a) appropriated by an Act for services of the government for the financial year that ended on 30 June 1996 or 30 June 1997; and

(b) applied for the purpose for which it was appropriated after the end of that financial year;

shall be taken to have been properly applied.".

Mr Speaker, this is a consequential amendment. Past practice has been to appropriate to the Canberra Institute of Technology as though it were a department. This amendment removes this anomaly from the Canberra Institute of Technology Act 1987. The institute may be funded by appropriation passed on to it through the department.

Proposed new clause agreed to.

Title agreed to.

MR OSBORNE (9.38): Pursuant to standing order 187, I move:

That the question "That Mrs Carnell's amendment No. 3 (proposing to insert new clauses 8A, 8B and 8C) be agreed to" be reconsidered.

Mr Speaker, it would appear that I have inadvertently misled my colleague Mr Moore on this matter. I was being distracted, and when the matter came up I think I was discussing with Mr Moore another set of amendments, rather than the ones we were debating. I apologise to my colleague and I hope that other members will understand.
