QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Supercar Race

MS CARNELL: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to provide some information on a question that was asked in question time.

Leave granted.

MS CARNELL: Earlier today Mr Corbell asked me three questions relating to the company AVESCO and its relationship with the Canberra Tourism and Events Corporation in staging the V8 supercar race in the ACT. I can provide the following information in response to Mr Corbell's question. Firstly, a contract has not been signed between CTEC and AVESCO, although I understand that negotiations are nearing completion.

More importantly, Mr Corbell drew the attention of the Assembly to an investigation of AVESCO by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and then cast doubts on whether AVESCO was registered as a company. For the information of members I table the company registration of AVESCO. It is very definitely registered. They have put in their company returns on time and done all the right things. I think it is appropriate that Mr Corbell check his facts before he makes - - -

Mr Stanhope: When was it deregistered?

MS CARNELL: It has not ever been deregistered.

Mr Stanhope: Hasn't it?
