Standing Committee on Legal Affairs ACT Legislative Assembly
00:06 - 02:09
Speaker 2
Good morning and welcome to the public hearings of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs for its inquiry into annual and financial reports 2025-2026. The committee will today examine ACT Official Visitors with reference to corrections. The committee wishes to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we're meeting on, the Ngunnawal people. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contributions they make to the life of the city and this region. We'd also like to acknowledge and welcome other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who may be attending today's events.
Please note the following housekeeping matters. All mobile phones and lap- laptops are to be switched off or switched to silence, and witnesses are to speak one at a time and will need to speak directly into the microphone or your computer for Hansard to be able to hear and transcribe accurately. This hearing is a legal proceedings of the Assembly and has the same standing as proceedings of the Assembly itself. Therefore, today's evidence attracts parliamentary privilege. Uh the giving of false or misleading evidence is a serious matter and may be regarded as contempt of the Assembly.
The hearing is being recorded and transcribed by Hansard and will be published. The proceedings are also being broadcast and webstreamed live. When taking a question on notice, it would be useful for witnesses to use these words: "I will take that question on notice." This would help the committee and witnesses to confirm questions taken on notice for the transcript. We welcome witnesses from the ACT Official Visitors.
We have many witnesses today for the session? Not really. Also, but when you first speak, please state your name and the capacity in which you appear. Please know that as witnesses, you are protected by parliamentary privilege, and bound by its obligations, you must tell the truth, as giving false or misleading evidence will be treated as a serious matter and may be considered contempt of the Assembly. As we're not inviting opening questions, we will now proceed to questions.
