CHAIRMAN — RESIGNATION
391. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Ports:
My question without notice is on
behalf of Hon Robin Chapple, who is out of the office on urgent parliamentary
business.
The PRESIDENT: That would be
out of the chamber, member! It may very well function as an office, but it is a
chamber.
Hon ALISON XAMON: I am so
sorry!
I refer to ownership of the
Kimberley Marine Support Base.
(1) Is the
minister aware that Kimberley Marine Support Base Pty Ltd is owned by KAA
Holdings Pty Ltd?

Holdings Pty Ltd?
(3) Who are the
current officeholders of Kimberley Marine Support Base Pty Ltd?
(4) Will the

after being reappointed to the position?
(5) If no to (4),
why not?
Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN
replied:
