Joyce Review
The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:37): Further supplementary: when will staff be advised of the changes that might affect them directly in terms of either losing their jobs or being transferred elsewhere?
The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:37): The first tranche will be in place by 1 April. It is a digital watch—can I just check the date?
The PRESIDENT: Do so at your own risk, the Hon. Mr Ridgway.
The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I could table my watch. It will go flat. It won't be much use to you.
The PRESIDENT: Just don't quote from anything on it.
The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: How do I use the date if I'm not allowed to quote from it? Oh, I can see it over there near the Hon. Mr Wortley's head. It is 21st, so it is about 10 days away before the first tranche will be in place.
