Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 1999 Week 7 Hansard (2 July) . . Page.. 2239 ..

MR STEFANIAK (continuing):

In relation to Mr Kaine's final point, yes, a lot is spent on Education and Community Services. That is because the Government realises how important it is, especially the education component. It is absolutely vital to the future of this Territory if we are to continue to be the clever capital. That is why we spend more on education than any other State. The exception is the Northern Territory, which has the unique circumstances I mentioned earlier.

Proposed expenditure agreed to.

Proposed expenditure - Total appropriated to departments, $1,818,166,000 (comprising net cost of outputs, $1,088,158,000; capital injection, $487,126,000; and payments on behalf of the Territory, $242,882,000)

MS CARNELL (Chief Minister and Treasurer) (10.27): Mr Speaker, I seek leave to move amendments 3 and 4 circulated in my name together.

Leave granted.

MS CARNELL: I move:
