GST DISTRIBUTION —
IRON ORE PRICE
1400. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the
Treasurer:
I refer to the answer to my question
without notice 1362 asked on 20 November this year about the 2019 mini boom of
iron ore royalties.
(1) Were the
statements of the Under Treasurer in agency annual report hearings on 13
November, as indicated in question without notice 1362, incorrect or
inaccurate?
(2) If yes to (1), in what way were
they incorrect or inaccurate?
(3) If yes to (1), did the Under Treasurer mislead
the Standing Committee on Estimates and Financial Operations?
(4) If no to (1), why was the answer
to question without notice 1362 such a childish and facetious one?
The PRESIDENT: We really are
at the end of the week, aren't we!
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by
the Treasurer.
(1) The
representation of the Under Treasurer's statements in question without
notice 1362 was incorrect and inaccurate.
(2)–(4) Not applicable.
