MS STEPHEN-SMITH: Madam Speaker, can I just make the point that, where I have the numbers in front of me, there are many numbers reported in relation to the health system. Indeed, when we report our quarterly report, we are drawing from 130 performance indicators that are recorded across a variety of different formats. The idea that I am going to have in my head or on a piece of paper in front of me every single number accurately presented to today when Mrs Dunne put out a meme this morning that did not even have the most up to date or accurate number for the things she was talking about! She had a March 2019 number that was not even right.

Opposition members interjecting

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Wall! Mrs Dunne!

Ms Stephen-Smith: They get updated every quarter, Mr Wall.

MADAM SPEAKER: Minister, there is no need to respond.

Mr Wall interjecting—

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Wall, next time you do that I will warn you.

Ms Stephen-Smith: Oh, my God, you truly don’t understand data!

Opposition members interjecting

MADAM SPEAKER: Members!

Opposition members interjecting

MADAM SPEAKER: Mr Wall, one more and you are warned. Minister, I do not want to have to warn you either.

MS STEPHEN-SMITH: Apologies, Madam Speaker.

Justice—data reporting systems

MR HANSON: My question is to the Attorney-General. Attorney-General, we have been asking for many years for information regarding reporting systems in the ACT justice system, particularly for offenders who re-offend whilst on bail or suspended sentences, for example, how many individuals are re-offending and what is the nature of their crimes or alleged crimes if they are re-offending on bail. We have been repeatedly told—this goes back a decade—that the system that is being developed would allow this reporting but that you are yet to see any reports of this nature. Attorney-General, when will this reporting system be functional?
