Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 281 asked in the Legislative Council on 5 April 2022 by Hon Colin De Grussa

Parliament: 41 Session: 1

ESPERANCE PORT — IRON ORE EXPORTS

281. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Ports:

I refer to the current financial assistance arrangements and commercial agreements for the export of iron ore through the port of Esperance.

(1) Can the minister please table a summary of all contracts, licences and leases related to the current export of iron ore through the port, including the expiration date for each of these agreements?

(2) What is the total amount of financial assistance that has been provided by the state government to the current exporter of iron ore through the port up to 31 March 2022?

(3) Has the state government commenced any negotiations for the provision of financial assistance to the current iron ore exporter beyond the current arrangement?

(4) If yes to (3), what type of assistance is being considered?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I make the point that a lot of information has been requested in part (1), so there is an answer that I will give the member now, but that is a lot to ask within the four-hour time frame.

The minister's answer is that due to the level of detail requested, an answer will be provided to the member on the next sitting day.
