If businesses want to find out more in relation to certification or even what they are required to do for their tenders, they can get in touch with the secure local jobs code team through the Procurement ACT website.
Mr Barr: I ask that all further questions be placed on the notice paper.
Supplementary answers to questions without notice
Industrial relations—long service leave
MS STEPHEN-SMITH: I said I would take on notice the number of community sector registrations under the portable long service leave scheme. I can advise the Assembly that as of 30 June 2018 there were 292 registered businesses under that element of the scheme.
Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders—Ngunnawal Bush Healing Farm
MS STEPHEN-SMITH: I want to reflect briefly on the opposition’s use of the word Indigenous in the context of what they described as the Indigenous Bush Healing Farm. I do not usually do this, but I want to draw the attention of the opposition to the fact that the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community has very clearly indicated that it prefers the term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. The name of the Ngunnawal Bush Healing Farm is the Ngunnawal Bush Healing Farm. Out of respect for the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, I encourage the opposition to use the term to describe the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community that the community itself has said it prefers.
Answers to questions on notice
Questions 2125, 2128, 2140, 2312, 2349, 2350, 2352, 2353, 2371, 2372, 2373, 2419, 2423 and 2424
MRS DUNNE: Under standing order 118A, Madam Speaker, I draw your attention to the fact that I have 14 questions outstanding. As of 1.35 this afternoon I have received no advice about them. They are questions 2125, 2128 and 2140, due on 17 March from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing; 2312, 2349, 2350, 2352, 2353, 2371, 2372 and 2373, due on 23 March from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing; and, due on 5 May, from the Minister for Health and Wellbeing, questions 2419, 2423 and 2424. In accordance with standing order 118A, I ask the minister for an explanation or a statement in relation to why those 14 questions have not been answered.
MS FITZHARRIS: It was my understanding that Mrs Dunne was aware that there has been a significant volume, a significant number of questions, and it is quite simply the workload. I have come into the Assembly today with a number of those to clear, and my intention is, immediately after question time, to do that. On those that remain outstanding, by tomorrow morning I will provide further advice to Mrs Dunne directly.
