452. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the Independent Scientific Panel Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation in Western Australia.

(1) Will an interim report be published and publicly available prior to the release of the final report, as was done in the Northern Territory fracking inquiry?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

(3) If yes to (1), will this interim report be available for public comment; and, if so, for how long?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1) No.

(2) This is a scientific inquiry and will be peer reviewed by scientists prior to being provided to government.

(3) Not applicable.
