WASTE LEVY
45. Hon TJORN SIBMA to the minister representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to accusations of systemic
waste levy avoidance in Western Australia.
(1) Please advise
the number of occasions over the previous four years that the Department of
Water and Environmental Regulation either received complaints or were alerted
to well-founded suspicions about the practice of systemic waste levy avoidance?
(2) On which specific dates were
these complaints or suspicions brought to DWER's attention?
(3) With respect to (2), what
follow-up actions occurred, if any?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question, albeit a cheeky one, I think, honourable member,
given the level of detail that might be required.
The answer from the Minister for
Environment is that due to the level of information required, it is not
possible to provide an answer in the time frame
available, and I request that the honourable member place this question on
notice.
