QuestionView source ↗
This question was initially directed elsewhere, I believe. I refer to the government’s decision to financially contribute to the expansion of the Dampier to Bunbury pipeline, which is now under new ownership. (1) On what date did the cabinet make the original decision to contribute financially to the pipeline expansion? (2) Was it known by cabinet at this stage that Macquarie Bank, Alcoa and Alinta were potential bidders for the pipeline? (3) Which ministers, if any, did not take part in this decision and why? (4) On what date was the cabinet first advised that Macquarie Bank, Alinta and Alcoa were potential bidders for the pipeline? (5) Did the cabinet make a subsequent decision to finally sign off on the deal to contribute to the pipeline expansion when it was known who the successful bidders were; and, if so, on what date did this happen? (6) Which ministers, if any, did not take part in this decision and why? Hon KIM CHANCE

I thank Hon Simon O’Brien for some notice of the question. (1) 5 August 2004. (2) Yes. (3) Hon Clive Brown, who was on leave. (4) 5 August 2004. (5) The answer to this part of the question is only the date. I note that the question actually asked two questions. The date provided is 18 October 2004. I presume the answer is yes, 18 October 2004. (6) The Premier, who was overseas at the time.
