PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT AND MANAGEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2001
(This an uncorrected proof of the daily report. It is made available under the condition that it is recognised as such.)
Madam Speaker, I move the bill be now read a second time.
The purpose of this bill is to amend Schedule 1 of the Public Sector Employment and Management Act to remove reference to the Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment from that schedule. This will enable the functions and staff of the Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment to be merged with the Northern Territory Employment and Training Authority to form the Department of Employment and Training.
Madam Speaker, you will be aware, one of the election promises of Northern Territory Labor was to establish a Department of Employment and Training to train the Territorian workforce to take advantage of the future jobs growth in the Northern Territory. This proposed amendment clears the way for the department to be properly integrated by allowing the functions of the Office of Commissioner for Public Employment to be vested in the department by an administrative arrangements order, and I commend the bill to honourable members.
Debate adjourned.
