Mr Stanhope: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) No. For a short time, a private security firm, SNP Security, was contracted for one week to guard the ACT Memorial while there was an immediate safety concern. The concern arose following the mishap with the glass orb where the glue on some panels did not properly adhere and the panels broke during delivery. The orb was removed for repairs leaving some wiring incomplete. Although the electrical connection was not switched on during this period, except when under the supervision of the artist and electrician, for public safety reasons a guard was in place. The total cost was $ 5,634.75 (including GST).
