Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 7 Hansard (2 July) . . Page.. 2179 ..
MR QUINLAN (4.25): I want to make one comment under this heading. There has been an increase in overheads generally, mostly related to increased expenditure on IT, according to the budget.
Ms Carnell: Like in the Assembly budget?
MR QUINLAN: Yes. I am just using this heading as the vehicle to mention that across-the-board increase. I have to comment that in the forward estimates there does not seem to be any benefit flowing from that expenditure. One might have expected, if we are going to spend money to improve and to become more efficient, that we might have seen some gains from it.
Proposed expenditure agreed to.
Part 5 - Office of Asset Management
Proposed expenditure - Government Asset Management, $13,426,000 (comprising capital injection, $13,426,000) - agreed to.Part 6 - Central Financing Unit
Proposed expenditure - Central Financing Unit, $22,444,000 (comprising capital injection, $2,427,000; and payments on behalf of the Territory, $20,017,000)
MR QUINLAN (4.28): I have a brief comment to make on this. I would like to see a little less of the funds in the CFU and a bit more in the superannuation and insurance provision.
Proposed expenditure agreed to.
Part 7 - Superannuation and Insurance Provision Unit
Proposed expenditure - Superannuation and Insurance Provision Unit, $319,246,000 (comprising capital injection, $300,000,000; and payments on behalf of Territory, $19,246,000)MR QUINLAN (4.29): Mr Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have to say in this house that I felt that I was bullied over the Estimates Committee report by Ms Tucker.
Ms Tucker: I made you tone down the language.
MR TEMPORARY DEPUTY SPEAKER: I could never imagine that.
MR QUINLAN: I did write some comments - - -
Mr Rugendyke: I take a point of order. I think it is most unfair of Mr Quinlan to call my colleague on the crossbench a bully. I call on you to direct him to withdraw the comment.
