Question Without Notice No. 582 asked in the Legislative Council on 15 August 2018 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


FOREST PRODUCTS COMMISSION — INDEPENDENT AUDIT
      582. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Forestry:
I refer to the response provided to question 12 in the ''2016–17 Annual Report Hearings — Additional Questions'' document regarding an independent audit of the method of price calculation and payments that is scheduled for April 2018.
(1) Was the independent audit conducted; and —
      (a) if not, why not?
          (b) if yes, who conducted the audit; will the minister please table a copy of the result of the audit; and, if not, why not?
      (2) Were any discrepancies found in the payments made by the Forest Products Commission to farmers; and, if yes, has the FPC contacted all farmers affected and rectified the payments?
      (3) Were any discrepancies found in the calculation of schedules of base plantation stumpages as tabled during the hearings; and, if yes, will the FPC resubmit the schedules?
Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the question. The Minister for Forestry has provided the following information.
      (1) No. A delay in the new deliveries and billings system required the April 2018 audit to be postponed to August 2018 when the methods of price calculations will be audited.
(2)–(3) Not applicable.
