I seek leave to make a very brief statement. Leave granted. MRS JONES: Scrutiny report No 4 contains the committee’s comments on seven pieces of subordinate legislation and eight government responses. The report was circulated to members when the Assembly was not sitting. I commend the report to the Assembly. Education, Employment and Youth Affairs—Standing Committee Statement by chair MR PETTERSSON (Yerrabi) (10.02): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Youth Affairs. At a private meeting on 22 February 2017 the committee resolved to conduct an inquiry into the extent, nature and consequence of insecure work in the ACT. The inquiry terms of reference, which are comprehensive, are on the committee’s website. I will not spell out the terms of reference in detail but note that the committee will conduct a wide-ranging inquiry into all aspects of the matters raised. For the Assembly’s further information, in a media release I issued as committee chair on 7 March 2017 I noted: This inquiry will give the Assembly the opportunity to examine exactly the extent of insecure work in Canberra, and the consequences of these working arrangements for our community. The committee will be issuing a discussion paper on its inquiry and inviting written submissions from key interest and stakeholder groups and from all persons interested in putting their views to the committee. The committee is to report on the inquiry by 31 October 2017. 1093 28 March 2017 Legislative Assembly for the ACT Public Accounts—Standing Committee Statement by chair MRS DUNNE (Ginninderra) (10.03): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Public Accounts relating to inquiries into two Auditor-General’s reports currently before the committee.

It was the report of a performance audit on certain land acquisitions by the Land Development Agency. This report resulted from a public interest disclosure referred to the Auditor-General and presents the results of a performance audit of the effectiveness of the Land Development Agency’s management of the acquisition of certain land and businesses in 2014 and 2015. The report contained a number of conclusions and key findings and made seven recommendations. The government’s response to the Auditor-General’s report was presented to the Assembly on 14 February 2017. The committee received a briefing from the Auditor-General in relation to the audit report on 17 March 2017. The committee has resolved to inquire further into the report. While the terms of reference for the inquiry will be the information contained within the audit report, the committee’s inquiry will focus specifically on the conclusions and key findings of the report, and the government’s response and implementation of audit recommendations. The committee’s full terms of reference will be published on the committee’s website. The committee will be inviting written submissions to this inquiry from key interest and stakeholder groups. The committee is expected to report to the Assembly as soon as practicable. On 14 February 2017 Auditor-General’s report No 1 of 2017 was tabled in the Assembly. The report was a performance audit into WorkSafe ACT’s management of its statutory responsibilities for the demolition of loose-fill asbestos contaminated houses. The report contained overall conclusions, several key findings and made eight recommendations. The government’s response to the Auditor-General’s report was presented to the Assembly on 21 March.
