Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1998 Week 5 Hansard (26 August) . . Page.. 1371 ..

MR CORBELL (3.44): Just in very brief response to the Chief Minister's comments, without wanting to pre-empt an item on the notice paper, I think it is quite clear that there is common agreement, certainly from this side of the house, that there is a need for a code of conduct for non-Executive members of this place. I think tomorrow the Assembly will be considering just such a referral to the Standing Committee on Administration and Procedure. All Labor members will be working vigorously to try to progress that issue so that there is such a code for non-Executive members in place.

MR MOORE (Minister for Health and Community Care) (3.44): On this matter and on the matter that Mr Corbell raised, which we will no doubt discuss tomorrow, I would encourage members to consider as a further guide a commissioner for parliamentary ethics. That is something I have been very keen on and something I believe will assist us in the delivery of our duties and make sure that we do them in the most effective way we can and in the ethically most appropriate way.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
