Dr WOODRUFF – Just earlier, you tabled your government’s Wellbeing Framework Strategy. We’ve also been trying to get a copy of the Tasmania Positive Sustainability Strategy via active disclosure, on the advice of your own office, since late September. On 3 November, we were told by DPAC’s RTI officer that DPAC’s business unit would be publishing that document online and therefore we wouldn’t be able to get a copy of it, because it would be released publicly shortly. That was two weeks ago. Can you please table that document today?
Mr ROCKLIFF – Well –
Dr WOODRUFF – Consultation occurred two years ago.
Mr ROCKLIFF – Can I take advice on that, Dr Woodruff? My understanding is that the background documents have been released through active disclosure today, through RTI.
Dr WOODRUFF – Is that the whole document, the framework? This is the –
Mr ROCKLIFF – The background documents, I understand –
Dr WOODRUFF – That the Tasmania Positive Sustainability Strategy, which was consulted about two years ago, is that being released?
Mr ROCKLIFF – I understand the background documents have been released today.
Dr WOODRUFF – So, can you table the strategy, then, which we understand is also completed?
Mr ROCKLIFF – When it’s ready.
Dr WOODRUFF – Well, we understood from the RTI officer that it is ready.
Mr ROCKLIFF – Okay.
Dr WOODRUFF – And it will be tabled shortly, at your leisure, but we would like the people of Tasmania to have access to it today, please.
Mr ROCKLIFF – Are you against it?
Dr WOODRUFF – I would like to see it. I think it would be great. Can you please release it?
Mr ROCKLIFF – I am advised the strategy is in draft, and I need further advice on the strategy.
Dr WOODRUFF – And when will it be finished, please?
Mr ROCKLIFF – As soon as possible.
Dr WOODRUFF – What does that mean? It’s already been two years since the consultation.
Mr ROCKLIFF – Soon.
Dr WOODRUFF – Before Christmas?
Mr ROCKLIFF – We will try.
Dr WOODRUFF – Definitely? Maybe? Yes? Is that a yes before Christmas to find out about our strategy for sustainability? Two years overdue.
Mr ROCKLIFF – Given your longstanding interest – yes, so that would be the best endeavours and best intentions, before Christmas, but we need to look at it, see the advice, talk it through.
