PILBARA PORTS AUTHORITY — FEES AND CHARGES
603. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Ports:
I ask this question on behalf of Hon
Colin de Grussa, who is away on urgent parliamentary business.
I refer to the $13 450 levy imposed
by the Pilbara Ports Authority on every major shipment of iron ore.
(1) How much money has been raised
each month since 1 March 2021 to date?
(2) What is the total amount raised
to date?
(3) Has an end date been set for the
charge?
(4) Is this money being quarantined in a special-purpose
account specifically to fund the Port Hedland buyback scheme?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
