Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 660 asked in the Legislative Council on 10 October 2017 by Hon Michael Mischin

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


GOLD ROYALTY RATE INCREASE — NORTHERN STAR RESOURCES
      660. Hon MICHAEL MISCHIN to the Leader of the House representing the Premier:
I refer to the comments of Mr Bill Beament, executive chairman of Northern Star Resources, reported in The West Australian of 11 September 2017 about the Premier's assurances that there would be no increase in the gold royalty.
(1) Since the March election, has the Premier stated that there would be no increase in the gold royalty?
(2) If yes to (1), when, on what occasions and to whom?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
      (1)–(2) No, and not applicable. However, I take the opportunity to remind members that all Western Australians have a responsibility to contribute towards budget repair. Politicians and political parties are no exception. I would hope that when this matter comes to a vote in their chamber, those members who have reservations surrounding the conventions of budget measures and the obligation towards budget repair remember this fact.
