974. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer the minister to her response
to question without notice 949, asked on Tuesday, 16 October. Given that on 28 September
2018, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development and
Carnegie had signed a renegotiated agreement, what was the relevance of
Carnegie's ASX announcements on 28 September that prompted DPIRD to seek
legal advice, and on what subject?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
The ASX announcements on 28
September 2018 signalled material changes to Carnegie's structure and
corporate leadership. The department sought legal advice on the possible impact
of these changes on the state's obligations under the financial
assistance agreement.
