EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, CONTRAVENTION OF SECTION 8(1)(C)
In the minister's answer to question on notice 337 of 30 May 2001, he refused to table the independent reviewer’s report which was initiated by him and which apparently he has not seen. Is it the minister’s intention to continue to refuse to table this report and to rely on advice regarding its findings from the very people who were the subject of the inquiry that was recommended in the Commissioner for Public Sector Standards’ report to Parliament on 7 September 1999 - paper No 109? Mr CARPENTER

I am not sure which paper the member is talking about. This week, the Government intends to table the report of the task force that I, as Minister for Education, established. If that is the document to which the member is referring, I was in no position to table it when she asked that question because the report had not been completed. However, it is possible that the member is talking about another report. Hopefully, the task force report into resourcing education will be tabled on Thursday. If that is not the report - Dr Woollard: That is not the report that I would like to have tabled. Mr CARPENTER: If that is the report, it will be tabled on Thursday. If it is not, perhaps the member and I can have a discussion after question time to find out which document she is talking about, and I can make some other inquiries. However, the Government intends to table the Robson task force report on Thursday.
