Public Accounts—Standing Committee
Report 20—government response
MR BARR (Molonglo—Deputy Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development and Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation) (3.18): For the information of members I present the following paper:
Public Accounts—Standing Committee—Report 20—Inquiry into the exposure draft of the Financial Management (Ethical Investment) Legislation Amendment Bill 2010—Government response.
I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
The government thanks the committee for the report on this inquiry into the exposure draft of the ethical investment bill. The committee made nine recommendations in its report. The government has agreed with three recommendations, agreed in principle to four, and two recommendations are noted.
Since becoming a signatory to the United Nations principles for responsible investment in 2008, the government has been taking a considered and measured approach in the implementation of its financial investment arrangements. The government considers the recommendations made in the report provide an opportunity to further enhance the government’s standing as a responsible investor.
The government will revise its investment policy using the report’s recommendations as guiding principles. Consistent with the committee report, the revised policy will utilise universally agreed and accepted norms-based investment criteria and consider, where appropriate, a selective, exclusion-based screening strategy.
