AUTHORITY TO BROADCAST PROCEEDINGS

ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS

Paper

MS CARNELL (Chief Minister): Mr Speaker, I present for the information of members the Administrative Arrangements as contained in Gazettes Nos S476 and S50 on 6 August 1999 and 23 August 1999, respectively, and I seek leave to make a short statement.

Leave granted.

MS CARNELL: Two sets of Administrative Arrangements Orders are being tabled today. The first came into effect on 7 August 1999. Further changes to the orders came into effect on 23 August 1999. The earlier arrangements reflect the changes to my Government's ministerial responsibilities announced on 6 August 1999. As you know, Mr Humphries has been appointed as Treasurer. The new Department of Treasury and Infrastructure is also established and is allocated responsibility for the matters and enactments administered by the former Office of Financial Management in the Chief Minister's Department.

The second set of arrangements implements the recommendations of the coroner's report on Quamby to locate all corrective services measures, including youth justice, in the one administrative area. This involves the transfer of Parts IV and IVA of the Children's Services Act 1989 to the Attorney-General's portfolio, to be administered by the Department of Justice and Community Safety.
