Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1119 asked in the Legislative Council on 8 December 2021 by Hon Colin De Grussa

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

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.
