MS CODY (Murrumbidgee) (10.18): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Health, Ageing and Community Services relating to statutory appointments in accordance with continuing resolution 5A.
I wish to inform the Assembly that during the applicable reporting period, 1 July to 31 December 2018, the committee considered the proposed appointment of three members and the reappointment of four members to the ACT Radiation Council. In the committee’s response to the minister, the committee noted that all statutory appointments to the ACT Radiation Council were due to expire on the same date.

In the committee’s response to the minister, the committee proposed that the minister seek advice from the Solicitor-General regarding the legislative requirement for the committee’s consideration of this statutory appointment prior to the expiration of the administrator’s current appointment period.
