• One unsworn ACT Policing employee returned a positive result for ketamine, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), cocaine and benzoylecgonine.
(3) AFP Professional Standards has a 24 hours, seven days a week, on call, drug and alcohol response, which includes an AUSHEALTH response (AUSHEALTH is contracted by the AFP to provide drug and alcohol testing services).
Drug test results determine if prohibited drugs and pharmaceuticals have been consumed within a period of time. Depending on the sample taken, the period of time can range from a few days to a few months. Also, due to the samples requiring processing in a laboratory, it can take between 2-5 days for the result to be provided to Professional Standards. The result is then verified by the AFP Medical Review Officer before a confirmed positive result in known. Therefore, if a confirmed positive result is obtained, the exact time of prohibited drug or pharmaceutical consumption, and whether it was during work hours, is not able to be established.
If a verified positive result for drug use is confirmed, the details are entered into the AFPs complaint management system as a complaint, which is assessed by Professional Standards. Pending the specifics of each individual circumstance, it can result in a PRS investigation under Part V of the Australian Federal Police Act 1979, or be referred to the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity under the Law Enforcement Integrity Commissioner’s Act 2006 for investigation.
Better suburbs—expenditure
(Question No 3180)
Ms Le Couteur asked the Minister for City Services, upon notice, on 3 July 2020:
(1) For each of the 14 Better Suburbs priority areas, what was the (a) total expenditure and (b) user fees revenue, for each of the last three financial years (including 2019/20).
(2) For each of the 14 Better Suburbs priority areas, what is the expected expenditure for the 2020/21 financial year.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Directorate expenditure relevant to the 14 Better Suburbs priority areas is provided at Attachment A.
Attachment A totals include recurrent expenditure detailed in Attachment B and capital expenditure detailed in Attachment C. Recurrent and capital expenditure have been identified separately due to the significant movements in capital expenditure recorded across Better Suburbs priority areas in the capital program dependent upon active projects in any one year.
Recurrent expenditure has not been adjusted for internal trading within TCCS where expenditure is funded by other business units or by Capital Works. User Charges revenue has been provided at Attachment D. Revenue has been adjusted to remove the impact of internal trading within TCCS, for instance reimbursement for works funded by other business units and under the Capital Works Program where relevant.
