Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2000 Week 6 Hansard (25 May) . . Page.. 1831 ..
MR HUMPHRIES: I move:
That the resolution of the Assembly of 11 May 2000, as amended today, 25 May 2000 which appointed the Select Committee on Estimates 2000-2001 be amended by:
(1) adding to paragraph (1) the following words:
"and also the appropriations provided for in the Appropriation Bill 1999-2000 (No 3)";
(2) inserting the following new paragraph (1A):
(1A) that the Appropriation Bill 1999-2000 (No 3) stand referred to the Committee and, on the Committee presenting its report to the Assembly, resumption of debate on the question "That this Bill be agreed to in principle" be set down as an order of the day for a later hour this day;";
(3) adding to paragraph (3) the following words:
"and the Appropriation Bill 1999-2000 (No 3)".
The effect of this motion is to give to the Select Committee on Estimates for the 2000-2001 financial year the third appropriation bill for this financial year. Members will recall that on Tuesday I tabled this third appropriation bill, which relates to additional expenditure for ACTION and for criminal injuries compensation. I take it that it is the wish of the Assembly that such bills be dealt with by an estimates committee. We do not believe this is strictly necessary, but that has been the mood of the Assembly on previous occasions. If the motion is passed, the committee which Mr Corbell chairs would consider these matters as well. The committee will be asked to deal with two financial years but I am sure that its members are quite capable of taking on that additional task. I commend the motion to the house.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
