I answer on behalf of the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Energy. I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. The following answer has
been provided by the Minister for Energy.
As the coal has been sourced in
Australia, by definition it has not been ''imported''. However,
this is the relevant information regarding the coal's movement.
(1) It is 101 128 tonnes.
(2) 100 000 tonnes have been
delivered to Muja power station.
(3) There are zero.
(4) It is 24 681 tonnes.
(5) It is 24 681 tonnes.
