Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
Please refer to the Annual Reports of the Department of Education and Training (the Department) and the Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT), which include a list of external sources of labour and services.
After careful consideration of the question, and advice provided by the Department and CIT, I have determined that the further information sought is not in an easily retrievable form, and that to collect and assemble the information sought solely for the purpose of answering the question would be a major task, requiring a considerable diversion of resources. In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from the provision of direct program delivery, for the purposes of answering the Member’s question.
Christmas craft markets
(Question No 1416)
Mr Pratt asked the Minister for the Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 23 November 2006:
(1) What is the purpose of the TAMS Christmas Craft Markets, advertised in Whole Of Government message no 1115;
(2) What will the proceeds from these markets be used for;
(3) How often do these markets occur.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
1. The Christmas Market was organised to provide staff with the opportunity to get together in an informal setting and network, celebrate Christmas, boost the spirit of staff, provide local crafts people with an opportunity to sell their goods and to raise some money for charity.
The ten stall holders comprised staff, family members and friends. Items sold included seedlings, seeds, jewellery, Christmas cards and decorations, paintings and other miscellaneous craft.
2. Ten percent of the proceeds were given to the children’s charity, Barnardos. The remaining proceeds were retained by the stall holders.
3. Christmas markets are generally held near Christmas.
