Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 4 Hansard (25 June) . . Page.. 1024 ..

MR QUINLAN (10.48): Mr Speaker, I move:

That, notwithstanding the resolution of 28 April 1998 relating to the responsibilities of the Standing Committee for the Chief Minister's Portfolio when acting as a public accounts committee, Auditor-General's Report No. 1, 1998, entitled "Management of Preschool Education", be referred to the Standing Committee on Education for examination and report.

Mr Speaker, I was advised by the secretary of my committee that the exchange of letters that we had in relation to this particular matter was sufficient. However, discussion within this house yesterday has led us to propose this motion so that we make it absolutely clear what is occurring. I commend the motion.

Question resolved in the affirmative.

MR BERRY (10.49): Mr Speaker, I move:

That:

(1) Mr Corbell be discharged from attending the Standing Committee on Education and, in his place, Mr Berry be appointed as a member of the committee;

(2) Mr Berry be discharged from attending the Standing Committee on Urban Services and, in his place, Mr Corbell be appointed as a member of the committee.

These changes arise from a change in portfolio responsibilities for Labor members of this Assembly and will lead to a more efficient pursuit of the Government in relation to certain matters which will be dealt with by those committees from time to time. As members of this Assembly are most interested in efficiency, I am sure that they will endorse this motion unanimously.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
