QuestionView source ↗
Given the potential record grain crop expected to be delivered from the 2003 harvest - (1) Have any discussions taken place recently between the minister and Cooperative Bulk Handling Ltd about the deliveries expected in the 2003 harvest? (2) If so, has the minister been assured by CBH that it is in a position to handle the expected record deliveries with minimum delays and, more importantly, has sufficient storage capacity? Hon KIM CHANCE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank Hon Bruce Donaldson for the question. (1) Yes, I have had discussions with Cooperative Bulk Handling Ltd, but only briefly and informally. I intend to take up the matter more formally. More specifically, there are issues relating to CBH’s capacity to handle the crop. I will take up those matters also with CBH more formally. I expect that the matter will arise in those general discussions. These issues are ongoing. My office contacted CBH as recently as today and asked specific questions about CBH’s storage capacity. Generally, CBH is aware of the prediction I made about this year’s crop. One CBH director in particular has told me that in the event certain seasonal conditions follow - in other words, that they are favourable - even my quite high prediction could be conservative. CBH is aware of the scale of the crop. However, the member’s question relates not to whether it is aware of the scale of the crop but whether it is prepared for the scale of the crop. That question has arisen on a number of occasions over the past few weeks. I will have discussions about that with CBH. However, I have concentrated on specific areas and issues. (2) As yet, CBH has not assured me that it is able to handle a crop of 14 or 15 million tonnes. I will seek discussions with it on that point. Further, I will ask CBH whether there are any issues within government that it might need my assistance with to resolve. In discussions with the Liebie Group recently, for example, it was indicated to me that there might be issues about the expansion of conveyor loading system type facilities on land that will require some clearances to allow the establishment of those facilities. To ease that process, I will contact CBH and ask it whether I can do anything to help it liaise with the Environmental Protection Authority, for example. CBH faces a significant challenge in handling this year’s crop. It has faced this sort of challenge before and, generally, it has done it extremely well. As with most farmers, I have confidence in its capacity to do it again. At the same time, no-one discounts the possibility that grain will move so fast, particularly during December, that there could be problems. Other organisations will have to play a role in this. I refer in particular to the Australian Wheat Board. If AWB does not accord priority in the shipping program to Western Australia - it has not accorded that priority in recent years - we could be in big trouble, particularly in the port of Geraldton, but possibly also in the southern ports. I will also discuss that matter with CBH and, if necessary, with AWB.
