		Mr Smyth expressed grave concern about the lack of detail around the Stanhope Government's planned shared services body and if in fact it would save the Territory any money at all.
		"A shared services body was established by Rosemary Follett during her time in Government (and with a much smaller budget) and this arrangement, which was meant to save the ACT $1.5 million, actually ending up costing taxpayers $3.5 million in the first year," Mr Smyth said.
