MR RATTENBURY: These designs have successfully been used in other locations such as Manly in New South Wales and Port Phillip in Victoria, and they have also been installed at ANU, the botanical gardens and GIO Stadium.
In terms of their useability for pets, dog bowls are not included in the first package of 10 to be installed. I think the community feedback we get through the survey process will determine whether there is a demand for dog bowls and pet capability on them.
MADAM SPEAKER: Before I call Mr Doszpot, can we all just take a breath. I am actually starting to feel sympathy with a previous Speaker who made a comment about outbursts of humour. It is becoming a bit wearing.
ACT public service—IT security
MR DOSZPOT: My question is to the Treasurer. Minister, as of today Microsoft has released its final security update for Windows XP. This operating system will no longer be supported and has the potential for serious security breaches to those still running the system.

Dr Bourke: On a point of order, he is doing a preamble, Madam Speaker.
MADAM SPEAKER: Sorry?
Dr Bourke: There is a preamble going on here.
MADAM SPEAKER: The preamble has come and gone, Dr Bourke, and the preamble was a thanks to the minister for answering the question. So could you ask the question again, Mr Doszpot, because I am now distracted about what the question was.
MR DOSZPOT: Minister, thank you for giving those updates that you have promised, and can you also take on notice when exactly updates will take place on the areas still using XP and to what systems?
