(Question No. 252)


Mr Hardgrave asked the Minister for Administrative Services, upon notice, on 22 May 1996:

Has the Australian Electoral Commission recently entered into a contract for the supply of rubber stamps valued at $8000; if so, for what purposes will the stamps be used.


Mr Jull —The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

No. The Australian Electoral Commission has not entered into a contract for the supply of rubber stamps valued at $8000.

However, it has arranged a standing order for $4000 with a supplier for the provision of rubber stamps to 30 June 1996. This contract was gazetted twice due to a transmission problem between the Australian Electoral Commission and the Australian Government Publishing Service.

The amount of $4000 is an estimate of expenditure for all rubber stamps that will be required by the New South Wales Head Office, 50 Divisional Offices in New South Wales and 3 Divisional Offices in the Australian Capital Territory.
