Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1238 asked in the Legislative Council on 28 November 2018 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

HYDRAULIC FRACTURING — PETROLEUM LEASES

1238. Hon PETER COLLIER to the minister representing the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:

I refer to the government's decision to allow fracking to occur on existing petroleum leases.

(1) How many petroleum leases are there in Western Australia?

(2) What is the total size of petroleum leases in Western Australia?

(3) How many petroleum leases are there that have some area in the Fitzroy catchment?

(4) What is the total size of petroleum leases in the Fitzroy catchment?

(5) Will the government's decision allow fracking to take place in the Fitzroy catchment?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I apologise to the member, but I certainly have not seen that question and there is not one in my folder. I will make inquiries.

Hon Peter Collier: Just to clarify, I have received late notice that two questions were not available, C1295 and C1296, but there is nothing about question C1294, so it may still be on the way.
