Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1997 Week 13 Hansard (2 December) . . Page.. 4395 ..

MRS CARNELL (continuing)

`(4) A report referred to in subsection (1) shall include -

(a) a progress report on delivery of outputs; and

(b) an explanation of any significant variations from performance targets.'.".

To this clause and others that follow, Mr Berry has similar amendments. They are just to change the 15 days to 30 days. We agreed with that in the round table. But my amendments go somewhat further than that in order to improve the situation. We did have some discussion along these lines with other members of the Assembly, and I assume that this more fulsome approach will be supported by the Assembly.

MR BERRY (Leader of the Opposition) (11.30): At this late hour, I cannot think of superlatives which would describe our enthusiasm for this amendment.

Clause, as amended, agreed to.
