I refer the minister to the issue of mineral titles processing. (1) How many exploration and mining leases did the Government approve in each of the four years from 1999-2000 to 2002-03 inclusive? (2) How many mineral title applications for prospecting, exploration and mining leases are awaiting processing as at the latest available date? (3) How do these numbers compare with the status as at February 2001, and can the minister explain any large variations? (4) What are the “final solutions” concerning native title, referred to on page 828 of budget paper No 3, which are expected to result in increased mining industry activity? Hon KEN TRAVERS
