Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 3 Hansard (7 March) . . Page.. 605 ..

MR SPEAKER: Just a moment. It is a reasonable question. The question in relation to Reid Court - - -

Mr Wood: I did not get an answer, any more than I got one a few weeks ago.

MR SPEAKER: Did you wish to add anything?

MR SMYTH: Mr Speaker, they choose not to listen. What we have said is that across the entire housing stock, including Reid Court - I have made no bones about it in this place on many occasions - we have a dilemma with the age of our stock, the location of our stock and the type of stock that we have. We are making sure that we build appropriate stock where we need it. The 200 APUs, of which we are half-way through, are part of that.

Mr Berry: I take a point of order. It is obvious that the Minister does not know what this is all about. Will you suggest to him that he go away and find out what the strategic assets management plan has to say about Reid Court and come back and tell us?

MR SPEAKER: That is entirely up to the Minister.

Industrial Relations Email

MR RUGENDYKE: My question is to the Minister for Health and Community Care, Mr Moore. Minister, could you please inform the Assembly whether it is departmental policy to email the results of Industrial Relations Commission hearings concerning former staff members to other staff members of the department? If so, how many times has this occurred recently?

MR MOORE: Thank you for the question, Mr Rugendyke. I presume that you are referring quite specifically to Community Care rather than Health. I believe that you are referring to a specific example concerning somebody within the drug and alcohol unit. It is not the normal custom for that to happen. I believe that it has been a matter of discussion between the officer who emailed it and senior management in Community Care. We are doing what we can to ensure that it will not happen again.

MR RUGENDYKE: Mr Speaker, I seek leave to table that email.

MR SPEAKER: Is leave granted?

MR RUGENDYKE: I have a supplementary question. Was that just vindictive behaviour, or what was the purpose of the - - -

Mr Berry: Does what he is tabling name people?

Mr Moore: Does it have a name in it?

MR RUGENDYKE: Yes.
