I refer to all Department of Mines and Petroleum documents, including but not limited to mine safety, mining tenure or tenements, in the Perth office and all regional offices of the Department of Mines and Petroleum. (1) Will the minister state the process by which members of the public, members of the legal profession and members of Parliament can access DMP documents and files?

(4) Are lawyers acting for clients permitted to access DMP files, peruse all documents or files and take copies of documents without a subpoena or payment of a fee? (5) If yes to (4), will the minister explain and quote under what parts of the relevant legislation this is permitted? (6) In terms of any documents obtained from DMP files by members of the public, lawyers or members of Parliament, is a detailed record kept of the data accessed, retrieval or payment of a fee for copies and the reasons access was provided by each employee/officer from within the department? (7) If no to (6), why not? The PRESIDENT : I think in standing order 140, the word “concise” is mentioned in respect of questions. Hon NORMAN MOORE
