Mr MALEY - 2001-10-17
Can the minister guarantee that no period contracts or ongoing contractual arrangements for repairs and maintenance of government assets have been modified. If he cannot give such a guarantee, can the minister advise honourable members what period or repairs and maintenance contracts have been changed?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, another detailed question and I do not have those details in front of me. I can find those out for the member.
Members interjecting.
Mr AH KIT: I do not have those details in front of me. I will have to, as you did in the past, contact the Chief Executive Officer of the department with questions like that. In your time, you did have ministers who took questions on notice. In this particular case, I do not have the details of that. I have been in the position for five or six weeks and, unlike some of you, like the former Treasurer who was in the job for 12 years, I am not an expert, such as yourself. There are a few of us on some learning curves here. I am not embarrassed to say that. I will take your question on notice and get the detailed response back from my department as soon as possible.
