Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 7 Hansard (2 July) . . Page.. 2141 ..

MR HARGREAVES: I ask a supplementary question. I was trying to get a handle on the duration we are looking at. Can the Minister confirm that the tender makes no provision for infrastructure services such as security and power supply? Can the Minister say why the centrepiece of the New Year's Eve celebrations, the waterskiing spectacular he announced last week, has already been awarded, without tender, to Jack Ellinson Water Skiing Enterprises?

MR SMYTH: Mr Speaker, there are a limited number of groups in the country that can provide that service. I will seek further advice from the department on the procedure that was taken to award that contract.

Ms Carnell: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.

AUTHORITY TO BROADCAST PROCEEDINGS

MR SPEAKER: For the information of members, I present, pursuant to section 4 of the Legislative Assembly (Broadcasting of Proceedings) Act 1997, authorisations to receive sound broadcasts of Legislative Assembly and committee proceedings given to specified government offices, subject to certain conditions.
