AUDITOR GENERAL'S SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT

Adjourned debate on motion of the Treasurer (resumed on motion).

The Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT: On behalf of the Democrats, I indicate support for this motion. The Hon. Sandra Kanck has an amendment to a bill in similar terms and indicated last evening that she would not continue with it once this motion was passed. It is unfortunate that, if the Auditor-General has a matter to report to the parliament, we do not enable him to report if the parliament is not sitting. The parliament is about to get up for quite an extended break of some four months and, if there is a matter that the Auditor-General thinks is important, whether it be in relation to processes surrounding the electricity corporation sale or anything else, he should be able to report to the parliament whether or not it is sitting. I believe that the more general principle should apply and not just in relation to this motion. The Democrats support the motion.

Motion carried.
