Now club committees are required to be on-top of legislation requirements, duty of care, liquor licensing, grants and fund raising, insurance, risk management and much more. We know that in the majority of cases, clubs are run with volunteers. Many work full time, juggling family commitments with their club role and responsibilities. Most of the staff at Skills Alliance have held volunteer positions within clubs and associations and understand the pressures on committees. This includes producing policies and procedures, writing position descriptions, understanding the impact of new legislation and rulings, while addressing all the practical and operational functions of the club.

C. A. WHARTON (Burnett—Minister for Works and Housing) (11.1 a.m.), by leave: Yesterday in this House I answered a number of questions from the member for Chatsworth (Mr Mackenroth). Those questions dealt with the application of the new rental assessment scheme to various tenancies. In answering the questions, I misunderstood one question and therefore gave an incorrect answer. The answer I gave to another question may also have been misunderstood, so I take this opportunity to clarify the matter. Mr Mackenroth asked, in general, if the new scheme would be applied to people such as pubUc servants and employees of mining companies who are renting housing provided through the Housing Commission. The answer is that they will not be affected by the new scheme unless they are direct tenants of the Housing Commission, and the vast majority of them are not. The vast majority of those people are living in _ employer tenancy buildings, buildings provided under a separate and quite distinct scheme from that of welfare housing.
