Estimates 2014-2015—Select Committee
Report—government response
MR BARR (Molonglo—Deputy Chief Minister, Treasurer, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Housing and Minister for Tourism and Events) (10.01): For the information of members I present the following paper:
Estimates 2014-2015—Select Committee—Report—Appropriation Bill 2014-2015 and Appropriation (Office of the Legislative Assembly) Bill 2014-2015—Government response, dated August 2014.
I move:
That the Assembly takes note of the paper.
I present the government’s response to the report of the Select Committee on Estimates 2014-2015. I take this opportunity to thank the committee for its report on the Appropriation Bill and the Appropriation (Office of the Legislative Assembly) Bill. The report, spanning three volumes, has been prepared in a short time frame, and the government appreciates the effort that has been made by the committee and its secretariat.
The government respects and values the role played by the Select Committee on Estimates in scrutinising its proposed expenditure. The select committee’s report touches on a wide range of issues, the outcome of which has been 138 recommendations to the government. I will touch on the merits of some of these recommendations in a moment.
