Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr STIRLING - 2004-02-18

Mr STIRLING: While I am on my feet, I did say I would get back to the member for Greatorex in relation to his question about supply and delivery of tobacco, cigarette papers and cigarettes for a period of three years to Darwin and Alice Springs correctional centres. It was publicly advertised and tenders closed on 29 October 2003. One tender only, from British American Tobacco Australia Limited, in Regency Park, South Australia, for a sum in excess of $1m, and it was subsequently approved by the Procurement Review Board on 4 December.

It would be difficult not to approve when only one tenderer has put their hand up. I am not sure how the Procurement Review Board, or anyone else, got that particular one wrong.

Mr HENDERSON (Leader of Government Business): Madam Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the Question Paper.
