GOLD CORPORATION — 2021–22 STATE BUDGET
1119. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the minister representing the
Minister for Mines and Petroleum:
I refer to The Australian
Financial Review article today titled ''Perth Mint's Hayes
leaves after blowout'', which references a $100 million blowout of costs
to the enterprise resource planning project.
(1) Since the Legislative Assembly estimates with the
Gold Corporation on 23 September 2021, has the minister investigated the
issue of the cost of the ERP project and the subsequent One Future program;
and, if yes, what investigation has taken place; and, if no, will the minister
immediately initiate an investigation?
(2) If the minister will not
immediately initiate an investigation, why not?
(3) Have there been any allegations
of bullying lodged against the former CEO Mr Hayes?
(4) Is the $100 million blowout
figure accurate; and, if not, what is the actual cost blowout?
(5) Can the minister confirm whether the ERP project
or the One Future program are fully operational, partially operational
or not operational?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I
thank the member for the question. The following information has been provided
by the Minister for Mines and Petroleum.
(1)–(2) The project is
complete.
(3) No bullying complaints against Mr Hayes during his
time as CEO have been lodged with the Gold Corporation.
(4) No, that
figure is not accurate. The scope and budget of the project have been adjusted
over time, and the project was completed within its board-approved budget.
(5) It
is fully operational, in a staged manner.
