Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1166 asked in the Legislative Council on 22 October 2020 by Hon Colin Tincknell

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

SOUTHERN FORESTS IRRIGATION SCHEME

1166. Hon COLIN TINCKNELL to the minister representing the Minister for Water:

I refer to the answer to question without notice 1106 that did not specifically answer parts (2) and (3). I ask again about the 28 July meeting with Donnelly River farmers and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.

(1) Can the minister confirm that the answers to those questions were provided by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation but were withheld by ministerial instruction?

(2) Why has it taken the minister's office almost three months to provide answers to these questions?

(3) In relation to the minister's reference to ''coming weeks'', does that mean the coming weeks of 2020, 2021 or beyond?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. The information provided to me by the Minister for Water is as follows.

(1)–(3) Answers to the questions asked on 28 July are still in preparation. A response to these questions will be provided in the coming weeks of 2020.
