Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 1 Hansard (30 April) . . Page.. 251 ..

MR HUMPHRIES (continuing):

In the circumstances, I think it is wise to take that course of action, although it needs to be put on the record that it is not free from doubt that there is necessarily a problem that needs to be remedied in this particular matter.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

Bill agreed to in principle.

Leave granted to dispense with the detail stage.

Bill agreed to.

MR BERRY: I seek leave to make a personal explanation, pursuant to standing order 46. I claim to have been misrepresented.

MR SPEAKER: Proceed.

MR BERRY: In question time the Chief Minister made the claim, in as many words, that I had at one time indicated that all of the jobs in the youth jobs program that she had proposed, or had set up, had come from the Public Service. In fact, I pointed to about 50-odd jobs that were subsidised in the Public Service by the ACT taxpayer - some in her own department. I also pointed out during that debate that youth unemployment had remained high and was apparently unaffected by the program, and that many of the jobs that had been subsidised would have occurred anyway.

MR SPEAKER: Pursuant to the resolution of the Assembly of Tuesday, 28 April 1998, I have been notified in writing of the nominations of the following members to the respective committees: Mr Kaine to the Standing Committee for the Chief Minister's Portfolio; Mr Kaine to the Standing Committee on Education; Mr Hird to the Standing Committee on Health and Community Care; Mr Kaine to the Standing Committee on Justice and Community Safety; and Mr Hird to the Standing Committee on Urban Services.

Motion (by Mr Humphries) agreed to:

That the members so nominated be appointed as members of the standing committees.
