Legislative Assembly for the ACT: 2002 Week 5 Hansard (7 May) . . Page.. 1234 ..

MR QUINLAN: So we can assess where we were at at the time of handover. Startling stuff, isn't it? So we usually have a quarterly review, or a half yearly review. I asked for another review. We got an up-to-date review because I thought we would like to have it. Of course, if we had found it in December, Mr Humphries predictably would have been saying, "That new government has lost $100 million." So there has been no change in method but just one extra assessment.

Mrs Cross: Well, it is a change in method. You have changed the timing.

MR QUINLAN: If that is not what the question was about, I will take it on notice or we will talk about it later. But there was no change of method. All there was was an extra measurement. Is that hard to understand?
